R frontal wedged-shaped hypodensity c/w infarct; No evidence of hemorrhage

Hyperdense MCA sign (M1 segment) In the M1 segment, thrombus runs parallel to plane of axial CT images, creating the hyperdense MCA sign.

MCA Dot Sign (M2 segment) Image from: Leary MC et al. Stroke 34 (11) In M2 and M3 segments, thrombus runs perpendicular to plane of axial CT images, creating the dot sign.

MCA Segments Image from: Neafsey E. (on the insula)

Differential Dx of Hyperdense MCA 1.Acute thrombus 2.Atherosclerotic calcifications (usually bilat) 3.Elevated Hct (usually bilat) 4.Herpes simplex encephalitis 5.subacute stroke 2-5 can be considered potential “false positives”

Clinical Course Pt admitted, started on Plavix. Pt remains on the neurology service, with slight improvement of L-sided weakness.

Teaching Points Primary role of NCHCT in acute stroke pt is to r/o hemorrage. However, assessing NCHCT for the signs of early ischemic stroke is also possible. Hyperdense MCA and MCA Dot Signs are very specific findings for MCA occlusion, but have low sensitivity when compared to MCA occlusion demonstrated by angiography: - Sensitivity: 35-40% - Specificity: % Prognosis: No CT signs of MCA occlusion > MCA dot sign > hyperdense MCA sign
