Acute right MCA M1 occlusion
The case demonstrates a fairly typical sequence of imaging in acute MCA occlusion. The initial noncontrast CT shows subtle signs of ischemia; nevertheless, the site of occlusion and the core ischemic regions can already be determined based on this. CT angiography confirms the occlusion and helps to determine the collateral filling, while the true extent of ischemia is only revealed by CT perfusion and postprocessing.
