Updates to Study Attributes

Findings was changed:

Brain: There is an acute right MCA infarct involving right basal ganglia, frontal operculum, and anterior insula. Much Much of the MCA distribution appears spared, however.

There is T2/FLAIR hyperintensity of the right MCA branches, compatible with stroke. No hemorrhagic transformation.

Right ICA: Abrupt proximal right M1 occlusion, with no flow-related enhancement in remaining right sided middle cerebral branches. Right skull base ICA and anterior cerebral segments are otherwise patent

Left ICA: No large aneurysm or significant stenosis. Patency of the intracranial skull base segments, carotid terminus, proximal anterior and middle cerebral arteries, and visualized distal branches. Vertebrobasilar: No large aneurysm or significant stenosis. Patency of the bilateral intracranial vertebral arteries, basilar artery, and visualized distal branches.
