Axial fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery MR image (repetition time msec/echo time msec/inversion time msec, 10,002/148/2,200) through the upper lateral ventricles shows linear areas of abnormal white matter with high signal intensity (arrows) extending from the periventricular to subcortical regions of the cerebral hemispheres.

Axial, T1-weighted magnetization transfer image (repetition time msec/echo time msec, 500/9) obtained in the same patient as in Figure 1 after administration of a gadolinium-based contrast material, shows the same radiating linear white matter lesions (arrows) as those in Figure 1.

Coronal T2-weighted fast multiplanar inversion-recovery image (5,000/108/120) obtained in the same patient as in Figures 1 and 2 shows a cortical tuber (arrow) in the right temporal lobe. A few small (2-3-mm) subependymal nodules (not shown) also were present.
