Findings
CT head
There is hyperdensity within a single segmental, middle insular, arterial branch off the superior division MCA on left. This is likely in 3rd or 4th intrasylvian branch off the superior division of the left MCA. Given clinical symptoms of dysarthria, this stroke likely involves the intrasylvian operculum reaching the tongue motor area.
There is subtle edema in the same area of the mid insula and adjacent intrasylvian operculum perfused by the branches mentioned above. Findings are subtle which would place the stroke-age in the hyperacute timeframe within the treatment window.
No hyperdense cortical veins nor dural sinuses are evident.
