Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Symptomatic Vertebrobasilar Atherosclerosis and Dissection
Arch Neurol 62:1228-1231, Koch,S.,et al, 2005

Article Abstract
Large arterial disease is frequently associated with AMBI in the posterior circulation. The incidence of AMBI was comparable to that reported in the anterior circulation. This DWI study supports the importance of embolism as the main mechanism of infarction in patients with vertebrobasilar occlusive disease. On the basis of our experience, large-vessel vertebrobasilar disease rarely causes isolated small-vessel thalamic infarction.
