A chest X-ray taken on the following day showed atelectasis of the right upper lobe, bilateral mediastinal emphysema, and subcutaneous emphysema (Figure 1).
(A) MRI of the brain (FLAIR) on the seventh day showed diffused small round patchy lesions within juxtacortical matter. The periventricular white matter, corpus callosum, thalamus, basal ganglia, and infratentorial area (including the brainstem and cerebellar white matter) were not involved. (B) In the follow-up study on the 21st day in hospital, patchy lesions had disappeared completely.

Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed asymmetric, bilaterally diffused, small, round patchy lesions within juxtacortical and deep white matter, where both T2-weighted imaging and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) showed high signal intensity (Figure 2A). A follow-up MRI on the 21st day in hospital showed no abnormalities, a significant improvement compared to previous studies (Figure 2B).
