Abstract

Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a very sensitive technique for the early delection of ischemic stroke, due to its sensitivity for the detection of cyotoxic edema. However, there are several other neurological disorders which can also be associated with cytotoxic edema. It is now considered that glumate-mediated "exicitotoxic brain injury" is the final common pathway leading to cytoxic edema. In this pictorial essay. We will discuss DWI abnormalities in a variety of acute neurologic condition associated with excitotoxic brain damage.
