Figure 3. A: MRI obtained 8.5 hours after symptom onset showed patchy areas of restricted diffusion in the left MCA territory along with no hemorrhagic transformation. B: Another MRI obtained 53 hours after symptom onset showed FLAIR hyperintense lesions without any evidence of hemorrhage. C: Day 90 MRI shows only a small frontal infarct along with patent left MCA. Images: Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps: A1, A5, B1, B5; Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI): A2, A6, B2, B6; Fluid attenuation inversion recovery (FLAIR): A3, A7;B3, B7, C1, C2; Susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI): A4, A8;B4, B8.
