    Case 3. Axial T2 FLAIR image shows increased signal in the right medulla oblongata (arrow, A), which demonstrates nonhomogeneous contrast enhancement (arrow, B). Increased signal on DWI (arrow, C) and increased signal on the ADC map consistent with vasogenic edema (black arrow, D) are also noted.
