Figure 4

Diffuse and early-stage ischemia in 72-year-old septic-shock patients who developed generalized convulsive seizures without concomitant hypoxemia or hypotension. (A) DWI and the corresponding (B) ADC map show a diffuse cytotoxic edema. The absence of hypersignals on FLAIR (C) sequence shows that MRI was performed within 3 hours after the onset of ischemia. The patients died without recovering consciousness.
