Hypoglycemic encephalopathy

 

Choroid plexus carcinoma

 

Central pontine myelinolysis (osmotic demyelination syndrome)

 

Corpus callosum agenesis

 

Pineal region glioblastoma IDH-wildtype

 

grading of AVM

 

Arteriovenous brain malformation

 

Posterior fossa subdural empyemas from mastoiditis

 

Dolichoectasia of the vertebrobasilar artery with partially thrombosed aneurysm

 

Glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype

 

Hypoglycemic encephalopathy

 

Uremic encephalopathy

 The above MRI features are likely due to uremic encephalopathy in a given clinical history of acute kidney injury. CSF study was normal. The differential diagnosis includes other metabolic encephalopathy and herpes encephalitis, however, in herpes encephalitis basal ganglia are usually spared.
