case_images: MRI of the brain. (A) T2/fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) coronal view shows hyperintensity in the right caudate, internal capsule, and putamen. (B) T2/FLAIR axial view shows additional lesions involving left thalamus and lenticular nuclei. (C) Diffusion-weighted imaging axial view shows three lesions with restricted diffusion. Arrows indicate CNS lesions.

case_images: Assuming a central origin of the pain, brain MRI was performed, revealing hyperintense lesions in the left thalamus, right caudate, and lenticular nuclei on T2/fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images (Figures 1A,B), characterized by restricted diffusion (Figure 1C), without edema nor contrast enhancement.
case_images: MRI of the brain after 3 months of follow-up. T2/fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) coronal (A) and axial (B) views show size reduction of the pre-existing lesions in the basal ganglia, thalamus, and internal capsule. (C) Diffusion-weighted imaging axial view showing no signal alteration. Arrows indicate CNS lesions.
