2 Fig. 1 Patient 1: scheme of MR aspects on day 6; extensive signal intensity changes on T1- and T2- weighted sequences; involvement of cerebellum (arrow) depicted on a coronal FLAIR image; an image from the 3D T1 weighted gradient sequences with intravenous Gadolinium shows incomplete but extensive rupture of the blood brain barrier in several arterial fields; the circle of Willis is intact (except for non-filling of the A1 part on the left, arrow) on the 3D phase contrast (PC) sequence performed 3 days later. Definite abnormalities within the large arteries may not have been observed due to insufficient resolution of MRA images.

3 Fig. 2 Patient 2: neonatal brain US scans in coronal and parasagittal (right) views: the arrows point to hyperechoic streaks along striatal arteries, similar to the aspect of arteritis in congenital infections like CMV.

4 Fig. 3 Patient 2: sagittal T2-weighted MRI at 4 years: extensive atrophy of cerebellar vermis in the left panel; stripes of hypersignal from gliosis (arrows) in white matter of the centrum semi-ovale in a parasagittal section between insula and thalamus (right panel). Very thin corpus callosum probably due to atrophy. European Journal of Paediatric Neurology  , DOI: ( /j.ejpn ) Copyright © 2007 European Paediatric Neurology Society Terms and Conditions
