Imaging findings of the present case. A, B: Axial diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) showed hyperintense lesions in the bilateral middle cerebral artery territory (arrowheads).. C: Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) showed multiple stenoses in the bilateral middle cerebral artery, anterior cerebral artery, and basilar artery (arrowheads).. D, E: Fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) in follow-up showed hydrocephalus.. F: Follow-up MRA showed an improvement in arterial stenosis.

FIG1
Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed acute cerebral infarctions in the bilateral middle cerebral artery territory (Figures 1A, 1B). Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) showed multiple intracranial artery stenosis in the bilateral middle cerebral artery, anterior cerebral artery, and basilar artery (Figure 1C). Follow-up MRI on day 27 showed diffuse hydrocephalus (Figures 1D, 1E). Follow-up MRA showed multiple intracranial artery stenoses improvement, which could suggest vasospasm (Figure 1F).
