(A, B) Brain MRI with axial FLAIR sequences showing hyperintensities scattered in the subcortical white matter of the frontal and parietal lobes and prominent geographic subcortical hyperintensities in bilateral occipital lobes.
(C, D) These FLAIR lesions recovered after one year. May be due to vasospasm.

MRI: magnetic resonance imaging; AIP: acute intermittent porphyria; PRES: posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome; FLAIR: fluid attenuated inversion recovery.
