Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain of an immunocompromised child with avian paramyxovirus type 1 infection, Australia. Image, captured 16 days after hospital admission, shows predominantly left frontal and insular T2 signal hyperintensity evolving into laminar necrosis (white arrow) and hyperintensity of deep gray-matter structures (red arrows).
