Figure 2. (A) Axial fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) image showing multiple areas of abnormal hyper-intensities with associated edema and effacement of sulci bilaterally. (B) Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) showing multiple areas of hemorrhagic components bilaterally in the involved portions of the cerebral hemispheres. (C, D) T2 and SWI images showing unusual involvement of the infratentorial compartment with right intracerebellar infarction and hemorrhage. (E) Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) showing hyperdense areas of acute infarction “restricted diffusion”. (F) Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map showing dark signals indicating acute ischemia.
