A 27 y/o woman with hx of relapsing Kikuchi disease presented for altered mental status and 1 month of painful, bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy & fever. Brain MRI showed multiple cortical, subcortical, and callosal enhancing T2-FLAIR hyperintensities with restricted diffusion #Medsky #Neurosky

Evolution of brain MRI findings in a 27-year-old woman with acute encephalopathy and painful bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy. Initial MRI of the brain showed multiple foci of restricted diffusion (arrows) present and involving the splenium of the corpus callosum, left periatrial white matter, and left periventricular white matter (A). Repeat MRI of the brain on hospital day two revealed multiple new and progressed sites of FLAIR hyperintensity (arrows) involving the supratentorial brain, including the thalami, right basal ganglia, bilateral temporal lobes, left insula, right frontal lobe, left parietal lobe, and splenium of the corpus callosum (B). MRI of the brain on hospital day eight demonstrated an increased extent of FLAIR hyperintensity (arrows) in the left hippocampus, left para-hippocampal gyrus, and right temporal lobe but with some decrease in the conspicuity of the FLAIR hyperintensity involving the thalami, right basal ganglia, and left frontoparietal lesions (C)Histopathologic findings from right temporal lobe lesion brain biopsy in a 27-year-old woman with acute encephalopathy and painful bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy. Sections show brain parenchyma with patchy perivascular mononuclear, lymphohistiocyte-rich inflammation (A and B). Immunohistochemical staining highlighted CD68+ macrophages (C) and CD3+ T lymphocytes, including a mix of CD4+ and CD8+ populations (D), in prominent perivascular distributions.
