  		Fig 1. A T2-weighted axial sequence demonstrates symmetric well-circumscribed hyperintensities (arrows) within the pars compacta of the substantia nigra (A). T2-weighted images of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (B), the solitary nucleus (C), and the medial vestibular nucleus (D) demonstrate similar symmetric well-circumscribed focal hyperintensities (arrows).
