Figure 1 .
Magnetic resonance diffusion weighted image showing acute infarcts in the right parieto-occipital and right posterior frontal lobes involving cortex and subcortical white matter. T1 and T2 acquisition sequences showed very subtle abnormality only.
Figure 2 .
Additional magnetic resonance diffusion weighted images from case 1 demonstrating acute cerebral infarcts.
Figure 3 .
Computed tomography showing right mesial frontoparietal high signal with low signal along cortex. Findings consistent with acute infarct of the right pericallosal artery.
Figure 4 .
Two dimensional echocardiogram from the subcostal view showing thrombosis of the left portal vein.
Figure 5 .
Normal fetal circulation. Paradoxical thromboemboli could travel from the portal vein to the systemic circulation as shown by arrows. LA, Left atrium; LV, left ventricle; RA, right atrium; RV, right ventricle; SVC, superior vena cava; IVC, inferior vena cava.
