FINDINGS Figure 222-1. Sagittal T1 MPRAGE. There is moderate midbrain/tegmental volume loss (vertical arrow), thinned tectal plate (posterior transverse arrow), mild pontine volume loss (flattening of the basis pontis-chevron) known as “hummingbird sign.” Figure 222-2. Axial MPRAGE through the midbrain. There is widening of the interpeduncular cistern (vertical arrow) and concave appearance of the lateral midbrain (transverse arrows). Figure 222-3. Coronal MPRAGE through the brainstem. There is loss of volume of the superior cerebellar peduncle (arrows).
