Cranial magnetic resonance imaging of the patient obtained on day 17 of illness. A and B: Axial FLAIR and T2W MRI images demonstrate diffuse hyperintense lesions bilaterally symmetrical within the deep gray matter of the bilateral thalami and right posterior pons (arrows). C: Axial T2W GRE revealed susceptible artifacts within thalamic lesions with hemosiderin deposits (arrows). D: The thalamic lesions showed subtle enhancement on T1W postcontrast (arrows). E: Sagittal venogram TOF showed no filling defect within the superior sagittal sinus, great cerebral vein or straight sinus (arrows). F: Coronal venogram at the level of the cavernous sinuses showed no filling defect within the cavernous sinuses (arrows). FLAIR, fluid attenuated inversion recovery; GRE, gradient echo; TOF, time of flight.
