Figure 1 (A, B) Axial diffusion-weighted images showed multiple areas of increased signal intensity in splenium of corpus callosum, periventricular and subcortical white matter. Apparent diffusion coefficient map is not shown but was normal. The American Journal of Medicine 2017 130, e187-e189DOI: (10.1016/j.amjmed.2017.01.020) Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc.

Figure 3 Axial gradient echo T2-weighted image showing multiple, small, scattered, nonconfluent hypointense intracerebral lesions. These punctate foci of low signal intensity (white arrow) are petechial hemorrhages.
