case_images: It showed several abnormalities as follows: hyperintense lesions of thalami (Figure 1a), dentate nuclei (Figure 1b), posterior white matter in the brainstem pons, and periaqueductal gray matter of the midbrain (Figure 1c) on fluid-attenuation inversion recovery (FLAIR) and diffusion weighted-sequences.
case_images: The patient used the old fire extinguisher to unclog his sink, containing methyl bromide.
