MRI

MRI of the brain is performed in patients with neurological deficits.

The following neurologic abnormalities may be seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI):

• "Starfield" pattern of diffuse, punctate, hyperintense lesions on diffusion-weighted imaging.
• These findings correlate with the degree of neurological clinical impairment.
• These abnormalities are reversible and resolve later.
