A Non-contrast CT scan showing the progress of the hypodense area in Fig. 1. B Magnetic resonance image (MRI) showing a right parietal space-occupying lesion (SOL), enhanced, surrounded by edema, with restricted diffusion in the periphery and no suspicion of bleeding on susceptibility weighted imaging. C A CT scan showing new hemorrhage in the SOL area. D  MRI axial view: Upper – post-contrast gadolinium T1WI (left) and T2WI (right) showing postoperative changes and significantly decreased edema and mass effect around the abscess. Lower – diffusion-weighted imaging/apparent diffusion coefficient showing thinner restricted diffusion on the periphery
