From: Giant “heart appearance-like sign” on MRI in bilateral ponto-medullary junction infraction: case report

Fig. 1

Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) indicated the giant “heart appearance” on the both sides in the ventral ponto-medullary junction. a, axial T1-MRI; b, axial T2-MRI; c, axial diffusion-weighted image MRI (DWI); d, coronal fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) and Sagittal T2-MRI; e, axial apparent diffusion coefficient map MRI (ADC). The “heart appearance” lesion shows hypointensity on T1 and ADC, hyperintensity on T2, DWI and FLAIR, indicating, in conjunction with the finding on DWI, that the lesion is a subacute infarct
