T2 hyperintensity in posterior fossa—diffuse brainstem with longitudinal tract involvement (Pattern 6B). Follow-up MRI after 2 weeks (same patient as Fig. 17 with biopsy-proven neuromelioidosis) showed T2 hyperintensities (a, b) following longitudinal white matter tracts into the supratentorial brain. Post-contrast T1-weighted imaging (c, d) demonstrated a rim-enhancing abscess in the right cerebral peduncle and multiple enhancing foci in the supratentorial brain (representing micro-abscesses)
