(B) DWI on day 4 revealed hyperintense lesions in the bilateral dorsomedial thalamus, mammillary bodies, periaqueductal gray matter, dorsal medulla, and cerebellar vermis (arrows).. (C) DWI showed that all abnormalities had disappeared by day 17.. DWI, diffusion-weighted imaging

case_images: A head MRI scan also showed no abnormalities (Figure 1A). Repeat MRI of the head revealed high signal intensity on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the bilateral dorsomedial thalamus, mammillary bodies, periaqueductal gray matter, dorsal medulla, and cerebellar vermis (Figure 1B), and these typical imaging findings led to the diagnosis of WE.
