T2 FLAIR sequence. MRI brain (done on Day 4 of heat stroke) showed widespread T2 FLAIR hyperintensities over both cerebral and cerebellar hemispheres, predominantly the cortex and the subcortical white matter.

MRI brain done on the same day (Figure 1) showed bilateral, symmetrical vasogenic oedema involving both frontal and posterior parieto-occipital, cerebellar hemispheres, and predominantly the cortex and subcortical white matter regions.
T2 FLAIR sequence. MRI brain done on Day 14 of heat stroke showed near complete resolution of the abnormal cortical and subcortical signal intensity and swelling, compatible with diagnosis of PRES.
