From: Cerebral iodized lipid embolization via a pulmonary arteriovenous shunt: rare complication of transcatheter arterial embolization for hepatocellular carcinoma

Figure 2

Cerebral iodized lipid emboli were detected shortly after the embolization procedure. Two hours post TAE the patient developed sudden neurological symptoms. (A) An emergent CT revealed scattered high attenuation spots in the gyruses and basal ganglia in both hemispheres (arrows) indicative of iodized lipid embolization. (B) Diffusion-weighted MRI on the next day found disseminated acute ischemic lesions (arrows) in corresponding locations.
