- FIG 1.
Flowchart algorithm for patient selection.
- FIG 2.
A 71-year-old man with left facial neuritis. Moderate enhancement noted at the left distal meatal segment of the facial nerves on 3D T1 TSE (A), but 3D T1 FSPGR (B) and 3D T2 FLAIR (C) revealed equivocal and mild enhancement, respectively, of the corresponding facial nerve (arrows).
- FIG 3.
A 60-year-old man with left oculomotor neuritis. On 3D T1 TSE (A), intense enhancement at the distal cisternal portion of left oculomotor nerve was observed, and mild enhancement was observed on 3D T1 FSPGR (B). The 3D T2 FLAIR (C) was negatively interpreted by both reviewers (arrows).
- FIG 4.
A 65-year-old man in the control group. There is no definite enhancement of the bilateral facial nerves on 3D T1 TSE (A) and 3D T2 FLAIR (C). However, mild enhancement at the distal internal auditory canal (arrows), possibly owing to convergence of dura mater, may lead to misinterpretation as enhancement of the distal meatal segment of the facial nerve on 3D T1 FSPGR (B).
