This 78-year old woman with atrial fibrillation presented with sudden onset of right-sided hemiplegia and aphasia. CT-angiography (CTA) with 3D volume rendering shows normal patency with moderate tortuosity of the cervical carotid arteries (a). An axial maximum intensity projection (MIP) reformation of the CTA demonstrates an occlusion in the M1 segment of the left MCA (b, white arrow). The patient was referred immediately for EVT. Catheter digital subtraction angiography, in anteroposterior (AP) projection, confirmed the left MCA M1 segment occlusion (c, black arrow). Subsequently, a successful endovascular removal of the thrombus was performed (d, post EVT AP projection angiography). At clinical follow-up, a complete resolution of the neurological symptoms occurred soon after EVT
