(a) A contrast-enhanced CT image, upon presentation. (b) A contrast-enhanced CT image two months after the presentation. (c) Low-intensity enhancement was observed in a T2-weighted, gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance image (MRI). (d) High-intensity was observed in the diffusion-weighted image. (e) A biopsy of the tissue revealed the infiltration of inflammatory cells and the absence of bacteria. (f) A contrast-enhanced CT image taken 3 weeks after starting the glucocorticoid therapy.
