1A–1E: T2 FLAIR MR image showing diffuse bilateral white matter hyperintensities involving bilateral centrum semiovale, periventricular regions, splenium and forceps major, sparing frontal white and deep grey matter, brainstem and cerebellum. 1F–1H: T2 FLAIR images in patient’s brother with similar changes, albeit to a lesser extent. 1I–1J: T2 sagittal MR image shows corpus callosal body and splenial involvement along with parieto-occipital subcortical involvement. 1K–1L: Diffusion weighted imaging shows faint DW restriction in periventricular area with shine through on ADC (apparent diffusion coefficient) map.
