case_images: III had already been performed, during and after the chelation therapy. In the Figure 1, the worsening and also improvement of the patient status can be clearly seen.
case_images: (A) T1-weighted axial image shows linear hypointensity at the level of cerebral peduncles in the substantia nigra within a mild area of hyperintensity. At the same level in the images (B,C), both T2-weighted, a striking hypointensity can be seen in both substantiae nigrae. A more cranial axial T2-weighted section shows a marked bilateral hypointensity of the globus pallidus (D,E).

case_images: T2-weighted images, indicating the existence of ferromagnetic substances and a cyst in the pineal gland (Figure 2). Two subsequent MRIs were performed in 2015 and in 2016, and they showed an increase in the ferromagnetic deposits in the abovementioned areas.
