Computed tomography scan of the head showing multiple infarctions
in the bilateral cerebral hemispheres:marked by arrows:with
perfusion defect most significant in the left middle cerebral
artery. Bilateral cerebral infarctions are more often seen as
the result of thromboembolic events rather than atherosclerotic
disease.

Imaging studies revealed multiple infarctions in the bilateral cerebral hemispheres with perfusion defect most significant in the left middle cerebral artery (MCA; Figure 1).
Computed tomography scan of the brain revealed a small subarachnoid
hemorrhage in the right posterior parietal and left frontal
lobe:marked by arrows.

Computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain revealed a small subarachnoid hemorrhage in the right posterior parietal and left frontal lobe (Figure 2).
Computed tomography angiogram of the chest revealed a pulmonary
embolism (PE), multilevel supraclavicular, mediastinal, hilar
lymphadenopathy, and a bilobed pulmonary nodule opacity at the
posterior basal segment of the left lower lung.

CT angiogram of the chest revealed a PE, multilevel supraclavicular, mediastinal, hilar lymphadenopathy, and a bilobed pulmonary nodule opacity at the posterior basal segment of the left lower lung (Figure 3). Repeat CT of chest showed improvement in the size of the pulmonary nodule and lymphadenopathy 6 weeks later (Figure 3).
