摘要
Six patients who had suffered small cerebral ischemia affecting subcortical gray matter were examined with diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and T2-weighted imaging within the first 8 h, during the next 2 days and after 5-16 days. Areas of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) decreases were observed acutely and reached the maximum size during the subsequent 2 days. Noticeably, in all subjects, a large portion of the ADC lesion was reversible as judged from the lesion size on final T2 image. The regular reversibility of the ADC decreases in this setting may indicate a hitherto not understood pathophysiological process occurring in small ischemic stroke; NeuroReport 11:2021-2024 (C) 2000 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
