An obtained cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at that time revealed a symmetric hyperintensity in both cerebellar hemispheres (Figure 1(a)). The cranial MRI displayed a weak residual hyperintensity in the right cerebellar hemisphere, probably as a residual indicator of the cerebellar bihemispheric hyperintensities described in the previous external MRI (Figure 1(b)).
Serum magnesium, potassium, and calcium during the stationary therapy. At day 14, with a magnesium level of 1.6 mg/dl, the patient clinically remarkably improved and was discharged.
