case_images: The axial T1-weighted brain MRI showed a well-defined hypointense lesion in the right temporal lobe with significant mass effect and midline shift (Figure 1).
case_images: Coronal T2-weighted and axial FLAIR image of the brain demonstrating a well-defined T2 hyperintense lesion that is totally suppressed on the FLAIR sequence, with no sign of perilesional edema.
