Figs 1A to F
Before (A)—FLAIR axial (1, 2) and T2 coronal (3) images show symmetrical hyperintense signals in subcortical white matter of temporal, occipital lobes and bilateral frontal lobes with slightly asymmetric hyperintensities (left > right) in bilateral parieto-occipital regions. After 3 months; (B)—FLAIR axial (4, 5) and T2 coronal (6) images show significant resolution of hyperintensities in white matter of temporal, occipital, and frontal regions
