The patient was a 52-year-old man, who suddenly developed a severe left hemiparesis. Using transcranial color-flow imaging (TC-CFI), we diagnosed him as having an embolic occlusion of the right MCA M1 segment. After treatment with t-PA, recanalization of the MCA M1 segment was demonstrated by TC-CFI. Two hours after t-PA infusion, his neurological signs were normal. We believe that TC-CFI is very useful in the evaluation of MCA M1 segment occlusion after a hyperacute embolic stroke and the effects of treatment with t-PA.
