Patient's first MRI on admission. Multiple hypointense, nodular lesions ranging in size from 5 to 9 mm were observed on T1W (A), T2W (B), and FLAIR C images, showing infratentorial and supratentorial distribution with partial preservation of the central parts. The lesions did not show diffusion restriction (not shown) and there was surrounding vasogenic edema, which was observed as a patchy signal increase on T2 and FLAIR images (B, C). There was no signal loss in the suscebtibility-weighted images (not shown). In contrast-enhanced images, ring-like enhancement was observed mostly, and homogeneous nodular enhancement was observed in a few smaller lesions (D). Note the high number and watershed localization of the lesions on post-contrast T1W axial MIP images (E).
