Summary

A left striatocapsular infarct caused temporary right hemiparesis. Cervical MR angiography confirmed a left internal carotid artery occlusion, highlighting MRA as a valuable tool for assessing carotid artery disease.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Vascular Medicine

Background:

  • Striatocapsular infarction, a type of ischemic stroke, is often linked to carotid artery occlusive disease.
  • Transient hemiparesis can be a presenting symptom of significant cerebrovascular events.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with transient right hemiparesis due to a left striatocapsular infarct identified via MRI.
  • Cervical MR angiography (MRA) was performed concurrently to evaluate the carotid arteries.

Findings:

  • MRI confirmed a left striatocapsular infarct.
  • Cervical MRA revealed a left internal carotid artery occlusion, subsequently verified by contrast arteriography.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the association between striatocapsular infarcts and carotid artery disease.
