Figure 11

83-year-old man with atrial fibrillation, he presented with left-sided weakness and neglect. (a) Axial unenhanced CT images within 3 hours of symptom onset show no acute changes. (b) Axial unenhanced CT images 10 days after stroke show a hemorrhage within a wedge-shaped infarct in the right posterior parietal lobe. The surrounding hypodense area follows the topography of the middle cerebral artery, reaching out to the cortex and superiorly, consistent with a hemorrhagic infarct. Stage HI c2 [1].
