The authors report serial MRI of a patient with Bickerstaff's brainstem encephalitis (BBE), disclosing caudal migration of an initial upper midbrain lesion. High apparent diffusion coefficient values imply a vasogenic rather than cytotoxic edema as the cause of the hyperintense signal changes on T2-weighted images.
作者报告了一例患有比克斯塔夫脑干脑炎（BBE）患者的系列磁共振成像（MRI）检查结果，显示最初位于中脑上部的病变出现尾端移位。高表观扩散系数值提示，T2加权图像上的高信号改变是由血管源性水肿而非细胞毒性水肿所致。
