The extent of perilesional edema was assessed by evaluation of axial fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) MRI and scored using a devised system. Perilesional edema scores of 3 and 4 corresponded to a characteristic radiological appearance of edema, which we term the ‘ sabre-tooth ’ sign due to its triangular shape
Score Description of perilesional oedema 0 no edema
1 edema involving less than half of frontal white matter
2 edema confined to but involving more than half of frontal white matter
3 edema entering into lateral white matter tracts of external capsule
4 edema extending posteriorly within the external capsule 1).
