a Brain magnetic resonance imaging. T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) imaging performed at 4 days after symptom onset shows hyperintense areas in the bilateral basal dentate nuclei (white arrows). b Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) performed 4 days after symptom onset showed an almost normal intensity in the bilateral basal dentate nuclei. c DWI performed 4 days after symptom onset revealed a hyperintense T2 signal with compatible cytotoxic edema (white circle). d At 14 days after discontinuation of oral metronidazole, abnormal findings on T2-weighted FLAIR imaging completely disappeared. e At 14 days after discontinuation of metronidazole, the abnormal findings on DWI almost disappeared
