Severe leukoencephalopathy in a septic-shock patient in whom delirium developed. (A) Axial FLAIR at the level of the centrum semiovale, with (B) isotropic DWI map and (C) ADC map. On FLAIR images, bright and diffuse signals in the white matter extend to both hemispheres. DWI and ADC abnormalities are consistent with a vasogenic edema. ADC values measured at the level of the centrum semiovale ranged between 1.026 and 1.055 × 10− 3 mm2 /s. The patient had a Glasgow Outcome Score of 4 at 6 months.
