Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Basilar Artery Occlusion
Arch Neurol 59:398-402, du Mesnil de Rochemont,R.,et al, 2002
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In critically ill patients with acute basilar occlusion, the extent of DWI lesion involvement can be highly variable. Small DWI lesions seem to be associated with a favorable outcome if reperfusion is achieved with thrombolysis. This could potentially be the case independent of time from symptom onset.
