[Left]: Head CT shows left hemispheric volume loss. The injury happened early enough that even the skull is smaller on that side.

[Right]: Brain MRI shows the severe left hemispheric atrophy. Some of the brain gyri have bulbous ends and a thin neck, resembling mushrooms, a shape called ulegyria and consequence of the brain atrophy. The left lateral ventricle is mildly enlarged due to the atrophied brain.
