case_images: No arterial occlusion, stenosis, or plaque was discovered in bilateral carotid arteries (A,B), vertebral arteries (C,D), and all the intracranial arteries (E,F). The high-resolution vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the basilar artery shows no occlusion or stenosis (G).

case_images: He was not a candidate for acute intervention because multimodal computed tomography revealed no arterial occlusion or perfusion defect (Figure 1), and after this examination, the patient had significant recovery of his consciousness.
case_images: Diffusion restriction of the left thalamus (A,B) and the right brain stem as demonstrated on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging consistent with acute ischemic infarction (C,D).

case_images: Neuroimaging with brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed foci of restricted diffusion in the left thalamus and the right brain stem suggestive of an embolic stroke (Figure 2).
