Updates to Case Attributes

Body was changed:

CT scan of the brain was performed which showed an abnormal serpentine hypo/hyperdensity involving the right thalamus.

Brain MRI clearly show a right thalamic lesion with a complex mixture of hyperintensity and hypointensity due to turbulent flow mainly appreciated on T2W images.

Post contrast and MRA sequences increase the conspicuity of the arteriovenous malformation.
