Figure 1:
(A, B) Axial fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequence depicts multiple hyperintense lesions involving the deep and subcortical white matter on both hemispheres, as well as the thalami and basal ganglia; some of the lesions showed restricted diffusion on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) (C, D), namely on both corona radiata and bilateral deep frontal white matter. (E) Three-dimensional time-of-flight (3D TOF) sequence, Maximum intensity projection (MIP) reconstruction on coronal view reveals prominent irregularity (arrow) on the P3 segment of the left posterior cerebral artery.
