Impact of temporal muscle cauterization on pMCAO with T 2 WI. A: temporal muscle cauterization alone (group A) showing day 0 traumatic lesion (interrupted lines). B: temporal muscle cauterization, craniotomy and MCA electrocoagulation (group E). Color-coded magnification shows the boundaries of the ischemic lesion (dotted line) and traumatic lesion (interrupted lines) 6 h after pMCAO. C: same mice at day 1 showing the limits of the final lesion (dotted line).
