title: An acute sign of ischemic infarction: the hyperdense middle cerebral artery.
abstract: Ischemic cerebrovascular accidents are a leading cause of death with significant disability common among the survivors. The hyperdense artery sign seen on computed tomography is a useful finding in the early recognition of nonhemorrhagic cerebral infarction. We report a case of a hyperdense middle cerebral artery.
