Brain magnetic resonance imaging scans from 2 patients with bunyavirus-associated meningoencephalitis, United States, 2020–2023. A, B) Case-patient 1 brain T1 postcontrast images of coronal (A) and axial (B) sections showing moderately enlarged ventricles and cerebral atrophy. C, D) Case-patient 2 brain T1 postcontrast (C) and T2 postcontrast fluid attenuated inversion recovery (D) images demonstrating bilateral basal ganglia hyperintensities with no contrast enhancement.
