From: Brain Damage After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Arch Neurol. 2002;59(7):1090-1095. doi:10.1001/archneur.59.7.1090 A, An axial T2-weighted localizer image demonstrating the position of the frontal voxel. Representative preoperative (B) and postoperative (C) spectra demonstrate a decline of the NAA/Cr ratio 3 days postoperatively (preoperatively: NAA/Cr ratio, 1.9; Cho/Cr ratio, 0.64; postoperatively: NAA/Cr ratio, 1.3; Cho/Cr ratio, 0.62). This patient revealed a marked decline on test performance for each test on the third postoperative day. NAA indicates N-acetylaspartate; Cr, creatine; and Cho, choline. Figure Legend:

The other 3 quadrants show the 3 orthogonal axis images. R indicates right side. Figure Legend:

Seven days later, the patient underwent a follow-up magnetic resonance imaging scan and the lesion was also visible on T2-weighted images. A thorough neurological examination did not show a neurological deficit. The other 3 quadrants show the 3 orthogonal axis images. R indicates right side. Figure Legend:

Significant differences are indicated. NAA indicates N-acetylaspartate; Cr, creatine; and Cho, choline. Figure Legend:
