Arterial spin-labeling magnetic resonance imaging for diagnosis of early seizure after stroke

Arterial spin-labeling (ASL) is a non-contrast-enhanced sequence of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate cerebral perfusion. ASL has been widely used in cerebrovascular diseases [1]. Previously, we reported the use of ASL for the diagnosis of late seizure after stroke [2]. Here we report a first case of ASL in a patient with early seizure after stroke.
