  • Figure 1. Head computed tomography (CT) on code blue. CT showed bilateral low density in the parieto-occipital white matter with a minute high-density spot in her brain
  • Figure 2. Truncal computed tomography on code blue. CT revealed bilateral aspirated lesions in the lungs (upper) and enlargement of the right adrenal gland (lower, arrow)
  • Figure 3. Head magnetic resonance image (MRI) on day 4 after code blue. MRI showed bilateral high-intensity signals in the fronto-parieto-occipital white matter (upper) on fluid attenuated inversion recovery imaging, which resolved later (lower). This was compatible with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome
  • Figure 4. Spinal magnetic resonance image (MRI) on days 4 and 11 after code blue. Spinal MRI shows a loss of vertebral height of the Th11, L1 and L5 vertebrae. The MRI also reveals multiple high intensity signals in the multiple vertebral bodies and discs on short-TI inversion recovery imaging. These suggest multiple compression fractures, bone and disc bruises deteriorated due to the patient’s convulsions
