Bilateral anterior inferior cerebellar artery territory infarcts.
Bilateral anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) territory infarcts are rare. Their occurrence usually signifies severe intracranial vertebrobasilar disease. Unlike head computed tomography, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging reveals these infarcts clearly and MR angiography allows the intracranial vasculature to be defined noninvasively. We now report a patient with bilateral AICA territory infarcts.
