Figure 2. First axial contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MRI, showing hyperintense signal areas diffusely in the white matter in the left temporal lobe, with cortical contrast enhancement along the lateral and anterior-medial-basal parts of the left temporal lobe (arrows). Similar but less prominent changes are seen in the right temporal lobe. The interruption of the anatomical continuity of the lateral aspect of the right temporal lobe is an artifact.
