Anterior Choroidal Artery Infarction Evaluated with 123I-Imp Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography and 7 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Anterior choroidal artery (AchA) infarction remains a challenging diagnosis although it was first described almost 100 years prior. N-isopropyl-p-[123I]-iodoamphetamine single-photon emission computed tomography (123I-IMP SPECT) and 7 Tesla magnetic resonance angiography (7T-MRA) are not routinely performed in cases of AchA infarction. Therefore, the application of 123I-IMP SPECT and 7T-MRA for AchA infarction has not been reported previously. A 67-year-old man presented with disturbed consciousness, gaze preference to the left, aphasia, right homonymous hemianopia, and right hemiparesis.
