  Fig. 1 Brain MRI analysis. (A) Initial FLAIR enhanced image showed no abnormal lesion. EEG showed well-regulated rhythm without epileptiform discharge. (B) Follow-up FLAIR enhanced image showed no abnormal lesion, but EEG showed a mild, slow, and disorganized pattern.MRI: magnetic resonance imaging, FLAIR: fluid inversion recovery, EEG: electroencephalography.
