Brief Answer:
Yes.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

Brain damage from raised ICP (intra cranial pressure) would show up on MRI. The usual changes include periventricular hyperintense lesions (caused by periventricular seepage of cerebro-spinal fluid).

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
