Fig. 4.

Full-term infant with ‘white brain’ pattern of injury. a, c T₂SE (TR 6284/TE 120) shows increased signal intensity in the white matter with loss of cortical ribbon. There is relative sparing of the basal ganglia and immediate periventricular white matter. DWI (b, d) confirms the abnormalities and shows a striking discrepancy in signal intensity with the cerebellum. Note high-signal intensity of the mesencephalon (c) on T₂SE and symmetrical restricted diffusion in the cerebral peduncles and also in the cerebellum (d)
