Granulomatous amoebic encephalitis MRI

Overview
Granulomatous amoebic encephalitis is a central nervous system disease caused by certain species of amoeba, especially Balamuthia mandrillaris.

MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans may show increased signal on T2-weighted images. The lesions may show ring enhancement with intravenous contrast studies. Occasionally, there are neuroradiographic findings of an expanding intracranial mass that may mimic a cerebral tumor or a brain abscess.
