There are areas of low signal on T1WI, high signal on T2WI/FLAIR with restricted diffusion involving the brainstem (pons, midbrain and medulla oblongata) suggestive of a non haemorrhagic infarction. The MRA 3D-TOF shows complete occlusion of the basilar artery and vertebral arteries. The sagittal T1WI and axial FLAIR show loss of flow void within the basilar artery.
