Figure 1

MRI of the brain showing evidence of diffuse asymmetrical, left more than right, cortical laminar necrosis secondary to refractory status epilepticus with anoxic brain damage. The images are FLAIR (upper two rows) and T2-weighted images (lower two rows). The changes are high signal intensity involving both supratentorial structures and brain stem.
