![T2 weighted MRI image (left) shows a small, ill-defined signal in the left genu of the corpus callosum (arrowhead). Maximum velocity (VMax) of LACA was 225 cm/sec and LMCA was 252 cm/sec by transcranial doppler. On FDG (metabolic) and ([15O] H2O) (perfusion) PET imaging (middle and right upper panels), diffuse hypoperfusion and hypometabolism is demonstrated with multifocal lesions throughout the left cerebral hemisphere.
