title: Magnetic resonance imaging of crossed cerebellar diaschisis and bright pulvinar in status epilepticus.
abstract: Crossed cerebellar diaschisis and bright pulvinar are rare in patients with status epilepticus. We present a case of a 53-year-old man who was found confused, incontinent, and nonverbal. The EEG findings were consistent with non-convulsive status epilepticus. The brain MR images showed findings consistent with crossed cerebellar diaschisis and bright pulvinar. We report and discuss this case to increase the awareness of these MRI signs in confused and obtunded patients.
