Neuro_CT_Head: 46 F with SLE, found unresponsive.

Symmetric basal ganglia infarction that is most consistent with anoxic brain injury.

Diagnostic considerations for these findings include extensive brainstem infarct with resultant hypoxic/ischemic injury to the bilateral basal ganglia, or global hypoxic ischemic with early cerebral edema and resulting in herniation and bilateral PICA occlusion. Recommend MRI evaluation with MRA.
