DWI Lesion Patterns in Cancer-Related Stroke-Specifying the Phenotype
Cerebrovasc Dis Extra 5:139-145, Schwarzbach, C.J.,et al, 2015
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
When excluding competing embolic and nonembolic stroke etiologies, the pattern of scattered DWI lesions in multiple vascular supply territories strongly dominates the phenotype of cancer-related stroke. Additionally, evidence of recurrent infarction is frequent in this cohort of patients. This is not only important for the diagnosis of cancer-related stroke itself but may prove helpful for the identification of cancer-related stroke patients with unknown malignancy at the time of stroke manifestation and evaluation of strategies for secondary prevention.
