Discussion MR 판독:
About 2cm sized, T2 high, T1 low SI lesion with perilesional edema in left midbrain.
Dark SI and blooming artifact on susceptibility weighted image.
Partial rim like enhancment.

Disease review:
 Small vessel vasculitis, mainly venular involvement
 Brainstem involvement (50%) > thalamus, basal ganglia > cerebral hemispheric white matter
 Small circular, linear, crescent-shaped, or irregular foci of T2/FLAIR hyperintensity in the midbrain
 Mass effect is usually minimal except acute phase
 SWI : hemorrhagic foci
 Commonly patchy enhancement
 Rarely, strong, uniform enhancement
