A case representing the various patterns of diffusion abnormalities seen in CFE. T2 (a, b), DWI (c, d), and ADC (e, f) MRI images at the level of the centrum semiovale (left column), and at the level of the basal ganglia (right column) of a 16-year-old polytraumatised female patient acquired on day 12 after hospital admission. T2 weighted images show hyperintense signal in the subcortical white mater, internal capsule and the corpus callosum (a, b). Diffusion-weighted MR Image with a b value of 1000 s/mm2 (c, d), and ADC (e, f) images show cytotoxic edema affecting the corpus callosum and facilitated diffusion over the subcortical white matter
