| These axial FSE MRI scans of the cerebrum above and the cerebellum below demonstrate multiple bright embolic infarcts, even in the thalamus and the splenium of corpus callosum in a patient with non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis of the mitral valve. Note how extensive these lesions are. The largest lesion above in the occipital lobes has extensive hemorrhage, a characteristic of infarction from thromboembolism. |
