Figure 2. Nonenhanced brain magnetic resonance imagining performed 1 day after admission. Axial (A, E) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and (B, F) apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) show gyriform cortical restricted diffusion throughout the frontal and parietal lobes (more extensive along the right hemisphere), with corresponding (C, G) fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (FLAIR) hyperintense edema. (D) Axial susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) shows small foci of susceptibility artifact at the right frontal lobe, correlating with air emboli; better visualized on previous head CT.
