Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome: Prognostic Utility of Quantitative Diffusion-Weighted MR Images AJNR 23:1038-1048, Covarrubias,D.J.,et al, 2002 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Vasogenic edema in PRS involves predominantly the posterior circulation territories, but anterior circulation structures are also frequently involved. The extent of combined T2 and DWI signal abnormalities correlate with patient outcome. H igh DWI signal intensity and pseudonormalized ADC values are associated with cerebral infarction and may represent the earliest sign of nonreversibility as severe vasogenic edema progresses to cytotoxic edema.
