Pseudo-hyperdense MCA sign: The value of comparing CT densities of vessels on both sides
Hyperdense middle cerebral artery (MCA) sign is a well-recognised sign of stroke radiology. However, less often reported is the pseudo 'hyperdense MCA sign' that looks ominous and may confound the clinician into thinking that he is dealing with a case of ischaemic stroke. We report a 56-year-old male who nearly underwent thrombolysis due to this sign seen on initial computed tomography imaging and highlight the way to avoid this pitfall.
