Multi-modality imaging findings in a patient with Trousseau’s syndrome and metastatic colorectal cancer. (A) Diffusion-weighted MRI of the brain demonstrating multifocal acute infarcts in multiple vascular territories, consistent with an embolic event. (B) Ultrasound of the neck revealing an enlarged supraclavicular lymph node with internal heterogeneity, raising suspicion for metastatic involvement. (C) Doppler ultrasound of the left neck demonstrating complete occlusion of the external jugular vein (EJV), consistent with malignancy-associated thrombosis.
