Figures & data
Figure 1 Cerebral CT scan showing spontaneous hyperdensity in the left middle cerebral artery proximal segment M1 (A), lentiform nucleus obscuration (B, arrow 1), loss of gray-white matter discrimination (B, arrow 2), and proximal occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery on CT angiography (C).
Abbreviation: CT, computed tomography.
Figure 2 Initial left internal carotid angiogram (lateral [A], and anteroposterior [B] views) showing proximal occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery (white arrow), lack of perfusion in the respective territory, and collateral flow from the left anterior cerebral artery through leptomeningeal anastomoses (black arrows).
