Figure legends:
- Figure1: Axial DWI showing restricted diffusion of the pons and
bilateral cerebellar hemispheres.
- Figure2: Pre- and post-thrombectomy angiogram showing complete
reperfusion of the basilar artery with normal antegrade flow.
- Figure3: 24 hours post thrombectomy MRI: DWI (left) and fluid
attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) (right) showing no increased
area of pontine and cerebellar infarction, but more intense restricted
diffusion with better defined lesion.
