This image shows the medial surface of the left cerebral hemisphere from a person who has suffered an infarct in the left Posterior Cerebral Artery (PCA) distribution. From the accumulation of bilirubin in the infarcted tissue, the infarct appears dark on the unlabeled image, and in the labeled image is circled in red.
