From the case:
Cerebral infarcts with cortical mineralization

CT shows extensive hypodensites in the left occipital lobe and left parietal lobe.

Computed tomography shows linear hyperdensities outlining the cortex of the previously infarcted regions which corresponds.
Case Discussion
Cortical mineralization is fairly common following stroke and should not be mistaken for cortical laminar necrosis which refers to damage limited to specific layers of the cortex.
