Case Study One (Part 4)
On 2/20/97, sagittal T1-weighted images show
marked contrast enhancement of the left parietal infarct following
contrast administration. The images also show enhancement
in the occipital and temporal lobes.
Axial T2-weighted images now show minimal signal
changes with linear T2-hypointensity in the gyri in the left
parietal lobe, indicating minimal hemorrhagic component, but
most of the signal changes of T2-weighted images have resolved.
Note high signal in the cavernous carotid artery on the lowest
slice, indicative of carotid occlusion.
