Figure 3. Case 2. FIESTA sequence MRI (A) demonstrated that the right abducens nerve was almost invisible adjacent to the vertebral artery (white arrow), while the left abducens nerve (black arrow) was seen in the prepontine cistern. MRA (B) showed a tortuous and enlarged left side vertebral artery. FIESTA – fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition; MRI – magnetic resonance imaging; MRA – magnetic resonance angiography.
