T2-weighted MRI images revealed hyperintensity in the posterior limb of internal capsule, optic radiation (a), cerebral peduncles, substantia nigra (d), and cerebellar white matter (g). Diffusion-weighted and ADC MRI images showed restricted diffusion in the posterior limb of internal capsule, optic radiation (b and c), cerebral peduncles (e and f; black arrow), substantia nigra (e; white arrow), the pyramidal tracts in the midbrain (h and i; black arrow), and cerebellar white matter (h and i; white arrow)
