Figure 1. Brain MRI showing the axial view of the abscessual lesions. (a) 1 - hyperintense nodular lesions, compatible with abscessual lesions, on DWI mapping; (b) 2 - abscessual lesions with an hypointense appearance on ADC mapping; (c) 3 - nodular lesions, with contrast enhancement, ring enhancement and peri-lesional oedema after paramagnetic contrast agent injection, on T1-weighted image. ADC: apparent diffusion coefficient; DWI: diffusion-weighted imaging; MRI: magnetic resonance imaging.
