  Fig. 1 CTP and brain MRI in a patient with aphasia after left CEA. A: Compared to the preoperative CTP (left panel), CTP on postoperative day 4 (right panel) reveals increased cerebral blood flow in the left hemisphere. B: DWI performed 5 days after left CEA shows diffuse hyperintense lesions along the left hemispheric cortex with a gyral distribution (arrows). C: FLAIR MRI performed 8 months after CEA demonstrates marked atrophy in the left parietotemporal cortex with asymmetric ventricular dilatation. CBF: cerebral blood flow, CEA: carotid endarterectomy, CTP: CT perfusion.
