Figure 1. (A) Diffusion-weighted imaging of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at the time of the patient’s worst clinical condition. Diffuse hyperintensity lesions are seen in the cortices of bilateral frontal, parietal, and insular areas and in bilateral thalami. (B) Periodic sharp wave complexes (PSWCs) are noted on the electro-encephalogram. This was recorded at almost the same time as the MRI in A above.
