Figure (A) Coronal, contrast-enhanced, T1-weighted, fast field echo magnetic resonance imaging of the head showed a left parietal ring-enhancing multilocular lesion with surrounding vasogenic edema. (B) The lesion showed restricted diffusion on axial diffusion-weighted imaging. (C) Restricted diffusion also was seen on apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) imaging.
