[Table/Fig-4]:

A 69-year-old man, diagnosed as a case of amoebic liver abscess developed encephalopathy 7 days after initiation of treatment with metronidazole (2gm/day). (a) T2W MRI shows splenium hyperintensity (black thin arrow) which corresponds with the spenium hyperintensity on FLAIR sequence. (b) FLAIR images show faint dentate hyperintensities (black thick arrows) and inferior colliculi hyperintensities (white thin arrows). (c) DWI shows diffusion restriction in the splenium with low ADC value. Patient’s symptoms resolved completely, one week after stoppage of metronidazole. (Follow up imaging not available)
