Figure 1. Magnetic resonance image and magnetic resonance angiogram. A, Magnetic resonance image of the brain showing severe right-sided hemiatrophy with areas of laminar necrosis in the right frontal (arrow), parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes, indicative of a prior ischemic event. The cerebral ventricles are enlarged due to cerebral atrophy (arrowhead). B, Three-dimensional, time-of flight magnetic resonance angiogram revealing a moderately attenuated right internal carotid artery (ICA) (arrowhead) and severely attenuated right middle (arrow), posterior, and bilateral anterior cerebral arteries. MCA indicates middle cerebral artery.
