magnetic resonance imaging, shows high signal on T2WI and a slightly higher signal on Flair, shows high signal diffusion weighted imaging

Figure 2: Abnormal signal can be seen in bilateral hippocampus and right putamen in the brain magnetic resonance imaging, shows high
signal on T2WI and high signal on Flair
