Magnetic resonance imaging results.. Notes: Hyperintensities noted in the left occipital lobe, corona radiate, and thalamus on transaxial diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (A, B), and corresponding hypointensities on apparent diffusion coefficient map (C, D) suggested restricted diffusion resulting from an acute ischemic insult. Standard transaxial T2-weighted fluid attenuation inversion recovery sequence indicated hyperintensities in the corresponding region (E, F). Gray arrow, left occipital lobe; white arrow head, corona radiata; white arrow, thalamus.

Unenhanced computed tomography (CT) upon his arrival to the ER and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain (Figure 1) 2 days later confirmed the diagnosis of acute infarction in the territory of the left posterior cerebral artery, involving left occipito-temporo-parietal lobe, corona radiata, and thalamus.
