Figure 2. (a) 2 year later coronal fluid attenuated inversion recovery (repetition time/echo time/inversion time 7000/140/1950) shows a spherical, intermediate to low, heterogeneous signal lesion within the left temporal lobe with surrounding hyperintensity extending into the adjacent white matter. (b) Coronal T1 spin echo shows a lesion corresponding to an area of hyperdensity seen on the CT with a peripheral ring of hyperintensity and a central area of intermediate signal likely to represent intracellular methaemoglobin and central deoxygenated haemoglobin. A separate region of T1 hypointensity is again noted within the left temporal lobe.
