Neuroimaging features of the patient. A-E Brain MRI performed before the administration of corticosteroids. A-C T2-FLAIR images demonstrate multiple hyperintense lesions at different levels, which mainly located in the basal ganglia, internal capsule, external capsule, periventricular, corona radiata, frontal and temporal lobes. D Conventional T2-weighted image shows multiple lesions with poorly defined boundaries in the bilateral basal ganglia. E Gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted image shows multiple ring-shaped zones of peripheral contrast enhancement in the right basal ganglia and nodular contrast enhancement in the bilateral basal ganglia (white arrows). F-J Brain MRI performed on the day 54 after treatment with corticosteroids. F-H T2-FLAIR images show almost complete disappearance of previous lesions (I) Conventional T2-weighted image shows that lesions in the bilateral basal ganglia were significantly reduced. J Gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted image shows most of the contrast-enhancing lesions disappeared. Note: MRI = magnetic resonance imaging; FLAIR = fluid-attenuated inversion recovery
