&: Six patients had deep gray staining without cortical staining in the anterior circulation, 0 had staining of deep gray without cortical stain in the posterior circulation; *: All patients with white matter staining also had gray matter staining; #: One patient with posterior cortex stain also had anterior gray stain. Review of the imaging demonstrates the posterior cortex stain to be in the MCA-PCA watershed zone. |
