Smog Sign: Hazy Diffusion-weighted Imaging Restriction in Dense Axonal Tracts in the Pons on Hyperacute MRI with Remarkable Clinical Improvement After Intra-arterial Thrombectomy

Patient selection is of prime significance when considering intra-arterial thrombectomy (IAT) for patients with basilar artery occlusion (BAO). We present a case of BAO with the clinical locked-in syndrome and “smoggy” appearance diffusion restriction on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the pons...
