Table 3.
Signal intensity changes in the white and in the grey matter of 13 patients with Rasmussen encephalitis. Each row represents radiological findings when any change occurred (either in atrophy or in signal intensity); first and last MR exam details are always reported. Abbreviations are the same as reported in Table 2.
