MCA while CTP revealed an increased rCBF and rCBV in the left middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory as well as a decreased MTT and TTP (Figure 1). MRI of the brain performed the following day demonstrated a large acute MCA territory infarct (Figure 2).
Hyperdense middle cerebral artery on the initial CT prior to intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (a). Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (b). Apparent diffusion coefficient (c) confirms acute infarction in the left MCA territory.
