case_images: MR Imaging Findings of our 67 years old patient with cerebrovascular accident (CVA). (A) Unenhanced T1-weighted MR image shows an area of low signal intensity in the left parietal lobe. (B) T2-weighted MR image shows an area of high signal intensity in the left parietal lobe. (C) Diffusion-weighted MR image shows an area of high signal intensity in the left parietal lobe. (D) ADC map shows an area of low signal intensity in the left parietal lobe.

case_images: Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed and revealed a low signal area in T1 and a high signal in T2 in the left parietal lobe (Figure 1).
case_images: (A and B) A cavitary nodule and scar in the right upper lobe representative of old tuberculosis in addition to a 15mm parenchymal nodule in LUL in the initial chest CT scan, 6 May 2020.. (C, D, E, F, and G) FDG PET/CT shows low-grade metabolic activity in the mentioned pulmonary nodule in addition to multifocal hypermetabolic ground glass opacities throughout both lung fields, 17 May 2020

case_images: Regarding the persistent cough and constitutional symptoms, the patient underwent a chest computed tomography (CT) scan on 6 May 2020 which revealed a 15 mm parenchymal nodule in the left upper lobe (LUL) in addition to a cavitary nodule and scar in the right upper lobe representative of old tuberculosis (Figure 2).
case_images: FDG PET/CT revealed decreased metabolic activity in the left temporoparietal lobe of the brain.

case_images: The 18F-FDG PET/CT study demonstrated a hypodense lesion with decreased metabolic activity in the left temporoparietal lobe (Figure 3) consistent with the patient's recent history of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) presenting with Wernicke's aphasia.
