Acute Kidney Injury, Recurrent Seizures, and Thrombocytopenia in a Young Patient with Lupus Nephritis: A Diagnostic Dilemma

Figure 1

The initial MRI (images (a)–(c)) showed typical holohemispheric involvement: axial view in FLAIR (see (a), (b)) and T2-weighted (see (c)) images with extensive areas of high signal intensity in the subcortical white matter of both parietooccipital regions, including frontal lobes. Second MRI (images (d)–(f)) performed 2 weeks later with no signal abnormality within the brain parenchyma on FLAIR (see (d), (e)) and T2-weighted (see (f)) images.
