case_images: Axial diffusion-weighted brain MRI (b) demonstrating diffusion restriction involving the left occipital lobe at the junction of the left posterior cerebral artery and left middle cerebral artery territories (indicated by green arrow). Axial T2-weighted brain MRI (a) was unremarkable and did not demonstrate evidence of haemorrhagic transformation or previous stroke.
