No arterial occlusion, stenosis, or plaque was discovered in bilateral carotid arteries (A,B), vertebral arteries (C,D), and all the intracranial arteries (E,F). The high-resolution vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the basilar artery shows no occlusion or stenosis (G).

He was not a candidate for acute intervention because multimodal computed tomography revealed no arterial occlusion or perfusion defect (Figure 1), and after this examination, the patient had significant recovery of his consciousness.
Diffusion restriction of the left thalamus (A,B) and the right brain stem as demonstrated on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging consistent with acute ischemic infarction (C,D).

Neuroimaging with brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed foci of restricted diffusion in the left thalamus and the right brain stem suggestive of an embolic stroke (Figure 2).
