MRI brain reveals a small paramedian mid-brain infarct.

Figure 1: 

  • FLAIR axial image (A) through midbrain – No abnormal signal intensity in the midbrain
  • T2_3D axial image (B) through midbrain – subtle hyperintense signal in the left paramedian midbrain
  • this lesion shows diffusion restriction on DWI (horizontal arrow on C)
  • ADC map (vertical arrow on D) which is classic of acute infarct
