Female, 63 years old, with right hemihypoesthesia and dysarthria. A band of restricted diffusion is seen beginning along the left putamen and extending superiorly toward the lateral ventricular margin. No other areas of restricted diffusion are seen.Scattered foci of parenchymal FLAIR hyperintensity are seen, a nonspecific finding. No evidence of significant generalized edema or mass effect is observed. No acute intracranial hemorrhage or any abnormal extra axial fluid collection is detected. The ventricles are normal in size and morphology.
1.Acute lenticulostriate infarct on the left spanning from the putamen to the lateral ventricular margin.2.Scattered nonspecific FLAIR hyperintense foci which may reflect chronic microvascular ischemic disease.3.No evidence of intracranial hemorrhage.
