Unusual MR Findings of the Brain Stem in Arterial Hypertension
AJNR 21:391-394,243, deSeze,J.,et al, 2000
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
MR imaging findings have been reported in only a few cases of severe arterial hypertension. We report two cases of severe paroxysmal arterial hypertension associated with unusual brain stem hyperintensity. The lesions improved dramaticall y after stabilization of blood pressure, suggesting that edema could be the main cause of the MR imaging-observed hyperintensity.
