Abstract

The case is presented of a child with cyanotic congenital heart disease in whom middle cerebral artery stroke occurred, and consequently heavy gyriform calcification developed in the infarcted area within 45 days. To the author's knowledge, this is the shortest time interval within which such a calcification has ever been demonstrated.
