Figure 1 The imagings before admission and after 17 d. A: Initial computed tomography (CT) shows the left basilar part of pons hemorrhage; B, C: Initial fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (FLAIR) show hyperintense signals in the pons and bilateral periventricular, anterior part of bilateral centrum ovale; D: Follow-up CT 17 d after initial imaging, showing low-density signal changes in the left basilar part of pons, indicating pontine hemorrhage has been almost absorbed (E); F, G: Follow-up FLAIR 17 d after initial imaging, showing a nearly complete resolution of hyperintensity except hemorrhage in the pons and bilateral periventricular, anterior part of bilateral centrum ovale (H).
