Figure 5

A 13-year-old previously healthy female who presented with new left-sided facial weakness. Diffusion weighted image (A) demonstrate acute infarcts in the right middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory (black arrows). Time-of-Flight MRA (B) shows stenosis of the proximal right M1 MCA segment (white arrowhead). Vessel wall imaging (C) demonstrates a cuff of enhancement at the stenosis (white arrow). Digital subtraction angiography (D) demonstrates a focal arterial irregularity and banding (black arrowhead) resulting in mild stenosis, compatible with focal arteriopathy of a likely inflammatory nature.
