case_images: Cerebral ultrasound imaging. Ultrasound imaging shows demarcation of the increased echogenicity in the left subependymal area and basal ganglia: (a) coronal plane and (b) parasagittal plane.

case_images: Routine cerebral ultrasonography on the fifth day of life showed increased echogenicity in the left subependymal area and basal ganglia; five days later, considerable demarcation occurred (as shown in Figure 1).

case_images: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings on the 15th day of life. MRI findings reveal a postischemic lesion in the left Caput nuclei caudati, consistent with striatal lacunar infarction with small central bleeding (white arrow). Axial T2 sequence shows white matter hyperintensity (a). Corresponding intensity on axial (b) and coronal (c) T1-weighted sequence. High-signal intensity at apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map (d) and low-signal intensity at diffusion-weighted imaging (e). Beginning of transformation at susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) (f).

case_images: At the age of two weeks, magnetic resonance imaging revealed a postischemic lesion in the left Caput nuclei caudati, consistent with striatal lacunar infarction (as shown in Figure 3).
