We present a case of left striatocapsular infarction manifest clinically as a transient right hemiparesis.MRI showed a left-striatocapsular infarct.Striatocapsular infarction,unlike lacunar infarction,is often associated with occlusive disease of the carotid artery.In order to screen the carotid vessels,cervical MR angiography(MRA)was performed during the same examination,demonstrating a left internal carotid artery occlusion, confirmed by contrast arteriography.MRA,a noninvasive modality,can be a useful adjunct to MRI,when diagnostic information concerning the cervical carotid artery is needed. |
