case_images: Radiological findings of patient 15 days after the violent assault. (A) Axial head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diffusion weighted imaging showed increased signal intensity in the right intracranial vertebral artery (IVA) and a high intensity area in the bottom of the right cerebellar hemisphere, which is compatible with the posterior inferior artery (PICA) territory; (B) FLAIR weighted imaging also revealed increased signal intensity in the right IVA; (C) T2-weighted axial head MRI image reveals the absence of flow void in the right IVA; (D) non-contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography shows disappearance of signals from the right IVA and a part of the basilar artery (arrow); (E) axial head computed tomography scanned 1 day after the MRI reveals low-density areas in the brainstem, the bilateral occipital lobes, and the right cerebellum, as well as brain swelling; (F) sagittal head computed tomography reveals tonsillar herniation and supratentorial ventricular enlargement.

case_images: Radiographic findings suggested right intracranial vertebral artery (IVA) occlusion, multiple brain infarctions including brainstem, bilateral occipital lobes, and the right cerebellum, as well as brain swelling and tonsillar herniation (Figure 1).
