Cranial T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (panel A and B) showed left-predominant bilateral regions of increased signal intensity in the hippocampus and amygdaloid body, the insular, medial temporal and medial frontal lobes. Cranial computed tomography (CT; panel C) demonstrated high intensity lesions in the left amygdaloid body. Subarachnoid and intraventricular bleeding, in addition to low intensity lesions in the bilateral frontal and temporal lobes, was evident (panels D and E). A chest-enhanced CT demonstrated massive thrombosis of the right pulmonary artery trunk (panel F).
