Fig 2. The right internal carotid artery injection with lateral view, early arterial phase (A), late arterial phase (B), and magnified late arterial phase (C) demonstrate occlusion of branches of right MCA (asterisk), multiple vascular cutoff signs (arrows), vascular contour irregularities, and stenosis (arrowheads), compatible with vasculopathy.
