case_images: An MRI of the brain (axial) demonstrating bilateral fronto-parieto-occipital cortical and subcortical changes consistent with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (yellow arrows).. (A, B) Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps showing restricted diffusion in the white matter; (C, D) Corresponding bright signals on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI); (E, F) Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images; (G, H) T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) revealing bilateral hyperintense cortical lesions; (I) Contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging (T1W C+) showing no postcontrast enhancement; the cortex appears diffusely expanded bilaterally, with no notable changes in the cerebellum, thalamus, basal ganglia, or brainstem.
