  Fig. 1 MRI changes in paradoxical choroid plexitis. Serial diffusion-weighted imaging, FLAIR, and gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted images from an axial view. A–C: Initial images showing diffuse leptomeningeal enhancement. D–F: Follow-up neuroimaging for severe headache performed 5 weeks after initiation of antituberculosis medication demonstrates left choroid plexitis. G–I: Follow-up images obtained in the sixth month, indicating marked improvement of the lesion and confirmation of a paradoxical reaction.
