(Case 3): Admission MRI: MRI shows symmetric involvement of the parietal lobes in the parasagittal region. Gray matter, gray white matter junction, and subcortical white matter are affected. The lesions were bright on T2-weighted and FLAIR images and hypointense on T1-weighted images. Mild to moderate edema is associated with these lesions. No evidence of diffusion restriction is noted in mentioned areas. Follow-up MRI: Complete recovery of the lesions are seen in the repeat MRI after chelation therapy
