ESBL Escherichia coli Ventriculitis after Aneurysm Clipping: A Rare and Difficult Therapeutic Challenge

Figure 2

MRI brain. MRI: magnetic resonance imaging. (a) Axial T1 with gadolinium displaying ependymal enhancement in the lateral ventricles. (b) Axial diffusion weighted imaging displaying intraventricular hyperintensity, concerning restriction of ventricular sediment and consistent with ventriculitis/empyema. (c) Apparent diffusion coefficient map confirming intraventricular hypointensity and restricted diffusion of the intraventricular sediment, confirming ventriculitis/empyema.
