(a) Fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) MRI demonstrate bilateral temporal-occipital cortex predominantly left hemispheric alterations with integrity of basal ganglia. (b) MRI images obtained two months later revealing the progression of the abnormalities.

Bilateral parieto-occipital cortical hyperintensities that affected several gyri, but not basal ganglia or thalamus, were observed in diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), MRI with diminution of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), and minimal alterations in T2 fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences (Figure 1(a)). A new MRI not only confirmed the aforementioned results, but also showed an extension of the abnormalities (Figure 1(b)).
