Figure 1. Recurrent strokes and fetal-type PCA in our patient. (A, B) Right mesial frontal ischemic stroke at age 40 years, and its 6-month evolution (FLAIR axial MRI images); (C, D) acute ischemic lesion in the right temporo-parietal-occipital regions at age 41 years (diffusion-weighted and FLAIR axial MRI images); (E, F) two consecutive angiograms (at the time of the first stroke and after 6 months) showing the fetal-type right PCA, originating from the right internal carotid artery. PCA: posterior cerebral artery; MRI: magnetic resonance imaging
