Spontaneous cervicocephalic arterial dissection is an uncommon cause of stroke [1]. Segments of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) are rarely involved, and the incidence of MCA dissection (MCAD) is reported to be 4% of the spontaneous cervicocephalic arterial dissections in Japan [2]. A previous report suggests that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be useful for detecting intracranial vertebrobasilar artery dissection [3], although the applicability in MCAD patients is unknown. Here, we report a patient who had MCAD with characteristic lesions, which was demonstrated by high-resolution T1-weighted 3D images obtained using a 3-tesla MRI (3T MRI) system.
