Pial vasodilation. Pial vasodilation. A, Axial GRE T2 image shows a left frontal sulcal SAH (black arrowhead), possibly located in the “watershed” territory between the anterior and the middle cerebral arteries. B, Axial maximum-intensity-projection reconstruction of CTA shows an asymmetry of the distal arteries, in favor of left pial vasodilation. C, Frontal projection of 3D angiography of the left carotid artery reveals a severe stenosis at the origin of the M2 branch (white arrowhead). V. Cuvinciuc et al.
