Diffusion- and Perfusion-Weighted MRI Patterns in Borderzone Infarcts
Stroke 31:1090-1096, Chaves,C.J.,et al, 2000
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We postulate that the perfusion abnormality varies according to the mechanism of the borderzone infarction. Transient perfusion deficits occurring with hypotension in the absence of significant large-artery disease may not be revealed by PWI. Embolism may cause some cases of small borderzone perfusion deficits. Critical large-artery disease may cause large territorial perfusion deficits and predispose to borderzone infarction.
