case_images: (a) Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery magnetic resonance imaging (FLAIR MRI) in January 2006 shows mild edema and bleeding in the anterior limb of the left internal capsule and left striatum. (b) FLAIR MRI in May 2006 still depicts signal changes along the left electrode trajectory in the internal capsule, medial edge of the lentiform nucleus reaching to the left thalamus. (c) FLAIR MRI in December 2008 demonstrates marked brain atrophy and white matter hyperintensities along the electrode trajectories.

case_images: The electrode location was correct; however, mild oedema and bleeding were found in the anterior limb of the left internal capsule, spreading to the putamen and caudate head (see Figure 2(a)).  However, the MRI results in May 2006 still demonstrated hyperintensity changes along the left electrode trajectory in the area of the genu of internal capsule, and the medial edge of the lentiform nucleus reaching to the left thalamus (see Figure 2(b)). White matter hyperintensities along the electrode trajectories (possible gliosis) were also visible (see Figure 2(c)).
