Excerpt
Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) is a magnetic resonance (MR) technique that exploits the magnetic susceptibility differences between various tissues according to their blood, iron, calcification, and deoxyhemoglobin content [
1]. We present a case of a 23-year-old male with a history of generalized tonic–clonic seizures and subclinical status epilepticus as a manifestation of meningoencephalitis. Susceptibility-weighted MR imaging of the brain following an episode of subclinical status epilepticus revealed decreased visibility of venous hypointense signals within the areas of increased perfusion. …
