Figure 1. Post-gadolinium T1-weighted imaging at onset of the right VII and VIII cranial neuropathies. (A) Coronal view of the internal auditory canals. Abnormal enhancement was found in the right geniculate ganglion (VII) and the right VIII cranial nerve (arrow). (B) Enlarged view of the right internal auditory canal. Arrowheads indicated VII (the facial nerve) and VIII (the vestibular nerve).

Figure 3. Post-gadolinium T1-weighted imaging at onset of the left IX and X cranial neuropathies. (A) Axial and (B) coronal view. Abnormal enhancement was found in the bilateral IX and X cranial nerves (arrows). (C) Coronal and (D) sagittal view. Leptomeningeal enhancement was found in the pons and the fourth ventricle (arrowheads).
