Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a useful tool for diagnosing and monitoring progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Although characteristic MRI findings of PML are well known, we noted a potential new finding for this disease on susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI). Two patients with PML were studied and followed using MRI. SWI revealed low signal intensities in U-fibers adjacent to the white matter lesions of PML These findings progressed along with the disease progression. The cause underlying these findings remains unclear. This new finding suggests that SWI is useful for the diagnosis of PML It can provide a helpful clue in a clinical setting. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
