Association between WMLs and CELs in temporal lobes, and their changes over time.
| Lesion evolution | CEL increasing, n (%) | CEL decreasing, n (%) | CEL increasing followed by decreasing, n (%) | CEL stable, n (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WML increasing | 33 (42.9)a | 0 (0.0) | 0 (0.0) | 0 (0.0) |
| WML decreasing | 0 (0.0) | 14 (18.2) | 0 (0.0) | 2 (2.6) |
| WML increasing followed by decreasing | 0 (0.0) | 0 (0.0) | 13 (16.9) | 0 (0.0) |
| WML stable | 3 (3.9) | 0 (0.0) | 0 (0.0) | 12 (15.6) |

Both increasing WMLs and CELs were detected by follow-up MRI examination in 33 of 77 (42.9%) temporal lobes. WML, white matter lesion; CEL, contrast enhanced lesion.
