Neuroradiologic MRI findings. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain performed at the time of admission (A–D) and 3 weeks (E–H) and 5 weeks after (I–L) the initial MRI. Axial fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) (A, E, and I), gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted image (Gd-T1WI) (B, F, and J), diffusion-weighted image (DWI) (C, G, and K), and susceptibility-weighted image (SWI) (H and L) showed multiple progressive nodules with hemorrhagic and necrotic lesions in the right frontal lobe, right occipital lobe, and left parietal lobe (not shown). Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map on admission showed low signal intensity in the center areas and high signal intensity in the surrounding areas in the right occipital lobe lesion (D). The biopsied scar was found in the right occipital lobe (E–L)
