Computed tomography (CT) without contrast showed white matter hypodensity in the posterior parietal-occipital lobes with the remaining findings within normal limits (Figure 1).
Axial T2-weighted MRI image without contrast demonstrating hyperintensity in the occipital and parietal regions bilaterally, with small foci hemorrhage in the parieto-occipital region.

T2 prolongation in the subcortical white matter, predominantly in the occipital and parietal regions with scattered foci of susceptibility artifact bilaterally in the occipital lobes. The largest focus measured 10 cm x 0.6 cm in the left occipital lobe (Figure 2).

A repeat MRI with gadolinium showed a stable image with no pathologic enhancement and the foci of hemorrhage remained stable (Figure 3).
