Figure 1
MRI findings in a 73-year-old man with status epilepticus, two years after a left middle cerebral artery ischaemic stroke with haemorrhaging. (A) FLAIR sequence showing a left temporal lobe stroke. (B) Subsequent haemorrhagic transformation of the acute ischaemic lesion (white arrow). (C) Late-onset seizures (status epilepticus), occurring after two years, are associated with DWI restriction in the left cortex in a non-vascular territory involving the frontal and parietal cortex (block white arrow); (D) complete resolution of DWI findings after two weeks.
DWI: diffusion weighted imaging; FLAIR: fluid attenuated inversion recovery.
