Diffusion-weight magnetic resonance imaging of the brain of a previously healthy 5-year-old boy from Tecate, Mexico, who had Rocky Mountain spotted fever and was treated at Rady Children’s Hospital, San Diego, California, USA. The “starry sky” appearance shows numerous punctate foci of cytotoxic edema involving the supratentorial white matter (arrows), in keeping with acute to subacute injury from small vessel vasculitis.
