Alright, folks, it's time for another installment of name that lesion. (Ok, so maybe it's the first, can't remember.) :-)

Today in Neuroscience we had two hours of lecture on various neuroimaging techniques. One of the techniques described was digital subtraction angiography. Basically you take a regular x-ray, inject contrast media, and then take another x-ray. A computer digitally subtracts everything that is not filled with contrast, so you end up with a picture of only the cerebral arteries. The following example was shown in class:

Can you name that lesion? Be specific! (Vessel, suspected patient signs/symptoms) :-)

Update: This entry has been promoted to a "sticky" post until I get some more entries. Answer will be revealed on Monday.
