Multiple foci of air were noted within this region, which appeared to be within the right middle cerebral artery branches, and in some veins draining the region of the parenchyma fed by the right middle cerebral artery (MCA) (Figure 1, Figure 2).
Linear collections of air are seen in the right MCA territory, likely within the MCA branches and possibly in the draining veins as well.
