Acute Methotrexate Neurotoxicity: Findings on Diffusion-Weighted Imaging and Correlation with Clinical Outcome
AJNR 25:1688-1695, Rollins,N.,et al, 2004
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Diffusion abnormalities in acute MTX neurotoxicity indicated cerebral dysfunction but not necessarily overt structural injury to the cerebrum. Subsequent demyelination or gliosis could not be predicted on the basis of diffusion abnormalities. A single strokelike episode with diffusion abnormalities should not necessarily prompt modification of potentially curative chemotherapeutic regimens.
