Mechanisms of Bihemispheric Brain Infarctions in the Anterior Circulation on Diffusion-Weighted Images
AJNR 26:809-814, Saito,K.,et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Unilateral carotid lesions can cause bihemispheric infarctions through cross-flow in the anterior communicating artery. On DWI, small bihemispheric, disseminated lesions strongly suggest an artery-to-artery embolism. In such cases, aortic and carotid lesions should be assessed as potential embolic sources.
