T2 hyperintense basal ganglia (mnemonic)

Magnetic

resonance imaging of arterial stroke mimics: a pictorial review. A 42-year-old woman with hypoglycaemia presenting with disturbance of consciousness after abdominal surgery. DWI shows hyperintensities in the basal ganglia and the splenium of the corpus callosum (a, c, arrows) with no restriction (b) and no arterial occlusion (d)

Lentiform

fork sign in a uremic patient with a high anion gap metabolic acidosis with seizures: a case report from North West of Ireland. Showing CT Scan and MRI Brain images. a CT-brain showing bilateral symmetrical hypodensity in the basal ganglia. b MRI Brain axial FLAIR sequence. c MRI brain coronal T2 sequences both showing bilateral symmetrical swollen lentiform nuclei with a hyperintense T2/FLAIR signal rim delineating the boundaries of the putamen

Syndrome of

uremic encephalopathy and bilateral basal ganglia lesions in non-diabetic hemodialysis patient: a case report. Brain MRI performed upon admission. T2FLAIR showed symmetrical hyperintense non-hemorrhagic lesions in the entire bilateral basal ganglia (arrows) and corona radiata lesions showing mild diffusion restriction

Magnetic

resonance imaging patterns of paediatric brain infections: a pictorial review based on the Western Australian experience. T2 hyperintensity in basal ganglia and/or thalami (Pattern 5). Case 1: 15-year-old child with headache, nausea and vomiting. CSF was positive for cryptococcus. T2-weighted imaging (a) demonstrated bubble-like lesions within the basal ganglia (relating to gelatinous pseudocysts), with a relatively smaller component of restricted diffusion (b). Case 2: 14-year-old child with malaise for 2 weeks. CSF was positive for cryptococcus. T2-weighted imaging (c) demonstrated bubble-like lesions within the basal ganglia and thalami, with a relatively smaller component of restricted diffusion (d)
