ABSTRACT
A 20 year old male presented to the emergency department with generalized tonic clonic convulsions and up rolling of eye balls. He had history of seizure disorder for three years and on regular medical treatment and is compliant to medication. A non-contrast CT scan of the head was only done on 14th day of admission which showed hypodense areas in the right and left cerebellar hemisphere. MR imaging was performed four days later revealed high signal intensity in the both cerebellar hemispheres, both external capsules, both occipital and right parietal regions on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR). The post contrast MR imaging revealed diffuse cerebral and cerebellar hypervascularity in the similar region. This change of diffuse hypervascularity of both cerebral and cerebellar associated with seizure activity on post-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has not been reported in any literature.
