case_images: On further inspection, an MCA "dot" sign was seen (Figures 1 and 2).
case_images: Non-contrast head CT, sagittal plane, 0.67 mm thickness, showing a hyperdense MCA (sagittal string sign) in the right Sylvian fissure (arrow).

case_images: fig3-2050313X17748864
case_images: CT demonstrated a hyperdense sagittal string-like appearance of the MCA along the Sylvian fissure (Figure 3). CT angiography of the head confirmed the distal M2 occlusion.
