Panel on left: (a) Initial T2-weighted axial and (c) coronal MRI showing diffuse hyperintensity of the medulla oblongata (white arrows); (e) T1-weighted postcontrast sequence showing subtle hypointensity of the medulla without any enhancement (white arrows). Panel on right: (b) Axial and (d) coronal T2-weighted MRI at follow-up after 2 years showing hyperintensity of bilateral inferior olive nuclei with slight enlargement (white arrows); (f) axial T1 contrast sequence of the medulla showing no signal change or contrast enhancement. Center: (g) DWI axial sequence showing no restriction. DWI = diffusion-weighted image, MRI = magnetic resonance imaging
