Comparison of brain MRIs between patient's first (A) and second (B) admission. A) Axial T2-flair MRI from 2 February 2009 demonstrating foci of peri-ventricular hyperintensity (more evident on the left than the right). Other findings included left greater than right lateral ventriculitis, basal meningitis, encephalitis involving the peri-ventricular and right basal ganglia white matter, and enhancing lesions in the left pons and the lower third of the medulla. B) Axial T2-flair MRI from 9 March 2009 demonstrating enlargement of prior hyperintense foci and new hyperintensity in the right posterior peri-ventricular white matter. Other findings included new enhancing lesions in the splenium of the corpus callosum, decreased enhancement in the right corona radiata and left frontal horn, and unchanged enhancements in the pons and medulla.
