FIGURE 1
Axial T2‐weighted fluid‐attenuated inversion recovery (T2‐FLAIR) at two similar representative levels on days 0, 2, and 13 after positive COVID test demonstrating rapid development of cortical and subcortical T2 hyperintensities (white arrows) predominantly in the posterior parietal and occipital regions with improvement/reduction in the finding by day 13
FIGURE 2
FIGURE 2
Axial postcontrast T1‐weighted series at two similar representative levels on days 2 and 13 after positive COVID test showing rapid development and subsequent resolution of sulcal/cortical enhancement in regions also associated with the T2 hyperintensities noted (white arrows)
