The Clinical Significance of Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging in Infratentorial Strokes
Neurol 62:574-580, Englelter,S.T.,et al, 2004
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In infratentorial strokes, multiple DWI lesions and a distribution of subsidiary, clinically silent DWI lesions in the anterior circulation suggest a cardioembolic stroke etiology. However, DWI lesion volume did not correlate with the NIHSS score and was no predictor of outcome.
