Seven months before presentation left VA is patent with intraluminal average Hounsfield units (aHU) of 60.6 on native CT (open black arrow) (a). 23 hours after symptom onset. Black arrow shows subtle hypodensity with aHU of 42.4 in the left VA (closed white arrow) (b). Three days after symptom onset susceptibility weighted effect in left VA (empty white arrow) (c) and flow void with rest-flow around clot in contrast-enhanced MR T1 (open white arrowhead) (d). MR time-of-flight angiography showing the absence of flow in both VAs (e).

MRI showed susceptibility effect in the same and in contralateral VA. MR angiography showed incomplete occlusion of both VAs while the basilar artery is without thrombotic formations (Figure 1).
