MR Imaging of Heat Stroke: External Capsule and Thalamic T1 Shortening and Cerebellar Injury
AJNR 24:1372-1375, McLaughlin,C.T.,et al, 2003
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We present a case of increased signal intensity of the cerebrum (symmetric involvement of the paraventricular thalamus and external capsule) and cerebellum on both T1- and T2-weighted images in a patients with documented heat stroke. An ischemic and hemorrhagic mechanism is proposed, and the contributions of the direct effects of hyperthermia are discussed.
