Prognostication Value of Descending Corticospinal Tract DWI Signal in Neonatal Cerebral Sinovenous Thrombosis

The prognostic value of descending corticospinal tract diffusion-weighted MRI signal differs when observed in cerebral sinovenous thrombosis from when observed in arterial ischemic stroke. Consequently, caution should be exercised in using descending corticospinal tract diffusion-weighted MRI signal to predict outcome in children with cerebral sinovenous thrombosis.
