Fig. 8From: Reliability of MRI in detection and differentiation of acute neonatal/pediatric encephalopathy causes among neonatal/pediatric intensive care unit patients4 month-old male with MELAS [A] Non-contrast CT showing periventriculer hypodensities (white arrow) and right occipital hematoma (red arrow). Different sequences axial MRI, [B] FLAIR, [C] T2WI, [D] T1WI, showing isointense signal of the basal ganglia (green arrow), thalami and tempro-parietal cortical gyri at T1 and FLAIR, low signal at T2 with dilated ventricular system. [E] Axial T2* showed minimal blooming (red arrow), [F] sagittal T1 showing markedly thinned corpus callosum (yellow arrow) [G] DWI b1000, [H] ADC map showed restricted diffusion at the previous sites (green arrows)Back to article page
