Abstract
A 60-year-old woman with a history of hypertension presented with acute onset of left-sided weakness and drowsiness. Non-contrast CT at baseline and follow-up showed a focal high density lesion in the right middle cerebral artery, consistent with a calcified embolus. CT angiography confirmed its location.
