Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 33570
  • Image ID: 10435996
  • Image stack position: 51/74
  • Plane projection: Axial
  • Aux modality: DWI
  • Study findings: Diffusion restriction consistent with ischemia involves almost the entirety of the pons, the entire left posterior cerebral artery territory, and a moderate-sized wedge-shaped portion of the right posterior inferior cerebellar artery territory. Smaller foci of diffusion restriction elsewhere in the cerebellar hemispheres compatible with embolic infarction. The TOF MRI demonstrates flow along the length of the basilar artery with a 3mm segment of persistent basilar artery stenosis at the site of angioplasty.
  • Modality: MRI
  • System: Central Nervous System
  • Findings: The distal basilar artery is hyperdense compared to the adjacent segments, and the middle cerebral arteries. No early vertebrobasilar territory infarct, although there is subtle hypodensity of the mid pons. Mild ventriculomegaly.  No intracranial hemorrhage.
