Extent of infarcted tissue in the acute and chronic phase. (A) Diffusion weighted imaging in the acute phase and (B) T1 FSPGR at 6 months show the extent of infarcted tissue in the right middle cerebral artery territory involving mainly the inferior parietal lobule (ANG; bordering the intraparietal sulcus), V5, and the temporo-occipital junction, sparing the posterior insula, parietal opercular cortex, and posterior parietal cortex. Subcortical structures involve the superior longitudinal fasiculus (II, III), inferior frontal fasciculus, inferior longitudinal fasciculus, and optic radiation.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an infarction in the parietal part of the right MCA territory which affected the IPL with the angular gyrus bordering and partly including the intraparietal sulcus (IPS), V5, and the temporo-occipital junction, but sparing the posterior insula, parietal opercular cortex, and posterior parietal cortex (PPC) (Figure 1).
