Figure 1. MRI on initial relapse reveals a new lesion in the subcortical white matter of the right parietal lobe with high signal on the FLAIR sequence (arrows, a) and mild contrast enhancement (arrow, b).
Figure 2.
Figure 2. MRI 2 months after demonstrating a resolution of the lesion of the right parietal lobe (a) and absence of gadolinium enhancement (b).
Figure 3.
Figure 3. On month 4, MRI demonstrates a new 2-cm lesion in the left cerebellar hemisphere with high signal on FLAIR (arrow, a) and a speckled pattern of contrast enhancement on the post-gadolinium image (arrow, b).
Figure 4.
Figure 4. On a follow-up MRI scan 12 months after the initial relapse, FLAIR images reveal complete resolution of the signal abnormalities in the left cerebellar hemisphere (a) and in the right parietal lobe (b).
