Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed 1 week later after the admission to rule out a neurological disease, showing hyperintensities in diffusion and T2-weighted imaging at the level of the anterior perforated substance and hypothalamus, with proton density reduction only in the anterior commissure (Figures 2, 3). Radiologists had suggested an underlying inflammatory/postinfectious process (related to HHV-6 virus), a hypothesis not supported by diagnostic tests (Figures 2, 3).
