• MRI of the brain can help assess for organic or anatomic etiologies of neurologic dysfunction and they are the following:
  • Leukoencephalopathy
  • Glial cell hyperplasia
  • Meningitis

Left proptosis (axial grade I) with retinal hemorrhage of high signal intensity on T1WI and FLAIR, and low signal intensity on T2WI and GE with no significant enhancement seen on post-contrast sequences. Diffuse thickening of the left optic nerve with perineural enhancement and intraconal fat infiltration.Case courtesy of Dr Ammar Haouimi, <a href="https://radiopaedia.org/">Radiopaedia.org</a>.
