Fig 1. Five-year-old girl with athetoid spastic quadriplegia.
A, Axial T2. Mild signal intensity change in the perirolandic white matter.
B, Axial T2. Typical signal intensity change in the posterior putamen and the ventrolateral thalamus bilaterally.
C, Axial T2. Typical signal intensity change in the anterior lobe of the vermis.
D, Axial T1. Low T1 signal intensity change in the vermis.
E, Axial FLAIR. High T2 signal intensity and cystic change.
