Fig. 3. Subcortical infarction but no significant stenosis. A 48-year-old female experienced left hemiparesis. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) shows a deep infarct in the right basal ganglia and corona radiata. MRA shows no significant stenosis in the relevant vessels. TFCA and high-resolution (HR) MRA show a small plaque in the superior half of the middle cerebral artery (arrow). CE: contrast enhanced, MRA: magnetic resonance angiography, PD: proton density, TFCA: transfemoral cerebral angiography, TOF: time of flight, 3D: three dimensional.
