A corona-like distribution and patchy pattern of cerebellar infarcts identify patients with giant cell arteritis
Our findings reveal a distinct cerebellar infarct pattern associated with intracranial GCA, characterized by a corona-like configuration and patchy lesions predominantly involving the lateral PICA territory. Recognition of this imaging phenotype may enhance diagnostic accuracy in challenging cases and facilitate the timely initiation of immunosuppressive therapy.
