T2-weighted and functional MRI (fMRI) images of a 50-year-old male patient with right middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) exhibiting severe paralysis of his left upper and lower extremities. (A) T2-FLAIR images showing an infarct in the right middle cerebral artery territory including the precental knob (blue arrow). (B) Bilateral primary sensori-motor cortices (SM1s) were activated during movement of the affected (left) hand on 8-week fMRI images. On 10-week fMRI images, the left SM1 activation (red arrows) had disappeared and activation of the right primary somatosensory cortex (blue arrows) was observed during movements of the left hand. By contrast, bilateral SM1 were activated during movements of the right hand on both 8-week and 10-week fMRI images.
