PD (3000/40/1 [TR/TE/TI]) (first image) and non-contrast FLAIR (9002/200/2200/2 [TR/TE/TI/excitations]) MR images of case 1 at indicated times after admission to the hospital. The first scan, performed at 2 days, does not reveal any intraparenchymal lesions. In the second scan done 1 week after admission, when the patient was unconscious and connected to a respirator, only two weakly high-signal areas are located in the basal ganglia, which by 3 weeks have grown (arrows). Despite significant recovery, several new lesions are seen in the periventricular white matter 1 month after admission (arrows). By 2 months, almost all the lesions are resolved
