Postnatal radiographic features of RES. A–D: Patient 48. Midline sagittal T1-weighted image through the cerebellum demonstrates hemispheric rather than vermian configuration (A). Axial T2 through the cerebellum shows fusion of white matter across the midline and a keyhole-shaped 4th ventricle (B). Axial T2 through though the cerebral hemispheres shows normal anatomy (C). Coronal T2 showing continuity of cerebellar folia across the midline without an intervening vermis (D). E–H: Patient 46. Midline sagittal T1-weighted image demonstrating a towering cerebellum with hemispheric architecture. Note the absence of a visible aqueduct. This patient had severe congenital hydrocephalus. Many of the supratentorial abnormalities (arrow) are likely a consequence of distortion from hydrocephalus and subsequent decompression (E). Axial T1 through the cerebellum demonstrating similar findings as the patient above (F). Axial T1 through the cerebral hemispheres shows an area of white matter continuity suspicious for mild HPE, but likely representing post-hydrocephalus distortion (G). Coronal T2 showing a towering cerebellum with upward displacement through the tentorial notch (H). I–L: Patient 14. I, Mid-sagittal and axial T1 demonstrating similar findings to Patient 46. This patient also had severe congenital hydrocephalus (J). Axial T1 showing area suspicious for HPE (arrow), though post-hydrocephalic distortion makes this difficult to confirm (K). Coronal T2 demonstrating similar findings to Patient 46 (L). M–P: normal brain. Reproduced from Tully, et al. (2012) with permission.
