The most common thrombotic events are DVTs, small vessel thromsosis, and ischemic […]

However, thin regions of brain at the junction of these vascular territories are relatively under supplied by blood and especially sensitive to ischemia. These border zone regions occur in two patterns: cortical and internal border. Cortical border zones include infarctions of […]

The A1 segment extends from the middle cerebral artery to the anterior communicating artery (a small artery connecting the contralateral anterior cerebral artery and completing the circle of Willis anteriorly; also the most common location for an aneurysm). The A1 segment gives […]

Acute Infarct. This is an acute embolic non-hemorrhagic right middle cerebral artery infarct visible on CT. There is a hyperdense right middle cerebral artery with subtle loss of grey white differentiation consistent with an acute embolic infarct. Figure (a) axial non contrast CT demonstrates a hyperdense middle cerebral artery. There is subtle loss of […]
