T2-weighted coronal MR imaging (A) shows hyperintense
signal in right pons near the root entry zone(REZ) of trigeminal
nerve which shows corresponding diffusion restriction on DWI
coronal image (B), confirming of acute pontine infarct.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [GE Signa Excite 1.5T] of brain revealed an acute infarct in right lateral pons close to root entry zone (REZ) of trigeminal nerve. (Fig. 2) Magnetic resonance angiography(MRA) of intracranial with neck vessels and two dimensional echocardiography(2-D Echo) was normal.
