MRI findings from a 47-year-old man with encephalitis-associated human metapneumovirus pneumonia, Australia. A) Axial MRI FLAIR at presentation. Arrows indicate multiple areas of bilateral subcortical and external capsule FLAIR hyperintensities and perirolandic predominance (top image). B) Axial MRI DWI at presentation. Arrows indicate corresponding increase in DWI signal in the affected areas. C) Axial FLAIR MRI after 3 months. The MRI changes have all resolved. DWI, diffusion weighted imaging;
