Arterial spin-labeled magnetic resonance imaging in hyperperfused seizure focus: a case report.
We present a case of a clinically suspected cerebral infarction that was diagnosed as a seizure focus on pulsed arterial spin labeling. The finding of hyperperfusion with perfusion imaging significantly impacted clinical management of the patient.
