Cerebral Phosphorus Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in a Patient with Giant Cell Arteritis and Endovascular Therapy

Figure 2

Magnetic resonance images of the affected arteries. High-grade stenosis of the right vertebral and the left distal internal carotid artery ((a), arrow) on a contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography. Long stenosis of the left ICA with tapering aspect ((b), arrows) on a follow-up time of flight MRI. Vessel wall enhancement of both internal carotid arteries ((c), arrows), and the right vertebral artery ((d), arrow), visible on a “dark blood” sequence. Contrast enhancement of both superficial temporal arteries ((e), arrows).
