Figure 1. Axial T2W section at level of the lateral ventricles showing moderately dilated symmetrical ventricles with extensive abnormal high signal in the periventricular and deep white matter. The cortical structures appear relatively normal.

Figure 2. Coronal T2W section at mid parietal level showing the extensive bilateral white matter abnormality consistent with acute demyelination. There is significant thinning of the body of the corpus callosum.
