MRI scans of the brain before and after corticosteroid treatment: (a) Post-contrast T1-weighted imaging showing significant ventricular enlargement (white arrows) with enhancing choroid plexi (blue arrow) consistent with choroid plexitis. The occipital and temporal horns of the lateral ventricles are entrapped likely due to inflammatory adhesions. (b) Post-contrast FLAIR imaging showing periventricular edema consistent with transependymal CSF seepage associated with the enlarged and entrapped ventricles (red arrows). (c) Both choroid plexitis and entrapment significantly improved 60 days post steroid treatment with decreased periventricular transependymal CSF seepage (d)
