History of 3hrs left side weakness.
Axial FLAIR images of brain show abnormal serpigenous high signal along right cerebral convexity in peri sylvian region, normally not visualized due to flow voids represents cortical branches of right MCA with an abnormal very sluggish flow -"IVY" sign can be the early and only sign of acute ischemia.
Brain parenchyma in the involved territory show normal signals.
Also reported in Vasculitis : Post Tb Meningitis Vasculitis induced infarcts with "IVY" sign
