A, Axial T2-weighted MR image shows the area of infarction in the anterior aspect of the left thalamus and adjacent internal capsule.

B, Axial T2-weighted MR image shows fusiform dilation of the posterior communicating artery.

C, Axial T1-weighted MR image obtained at the same level as in B shows hyperattenuated signal intensity in the walls of the aneurysm probably due to intramural thrombus.

D, Selective left internal carotid artery digital subtraction arteriogram confirms the presence of a dissecting aneurysm of the posterior communicating artery.
