Figure 1:
Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of brain revealing non-enhancing focal altered intensity, which is hypointense in axial-T2 (A), coronal-T2 (B), and axial-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (C) with signal blooming in axial-gradient echo sequences (D) at left thalamic area with perilesional edema and mass effect over third ventricle and associated intraventricular extension, suggestive of acute left thalamic intracerebral hemorrhage.

Figure 2:
Digital subtraction angiography. Lateral projection displaying a moderately stenosed supra-clinoid left internal carotid artery (A), with well-developed extensive dense collaterals suggestive of moyamoya angiopathy. Antero-posterior projections displaying moderately stenosed supra-clinoid right (B) and left (C) internal carotid arteries, including M1 and A1 segments, along with well-developed extensive dense collaterals suggestive of moyamoya angiopathy.
