Computed tomography scan showing typical subtle signs of early infarct in the right temporoparietal and basal ganglia regions. Note the loss of the insular grey matter (long black arrow), sulcal effacement, and loss of cortical grey-white matter junction (short black arrows), loss of outline of the caudate and lentiform nuclei in the basal ganglia (arrowheads—compare with the left side of the brain) and the hyperdense artery in the Sylvian fissure (long white arrow)
