Paraparesis associated with ruptured anterior cerebral artery territory aneurysms

Diffusion-weighted MR imaging detected primary brain damage in the ACA territories caused by acute SAH, which was compatible with the clinical paraparesis. Primary brain damage caused by SAH may include 3 types of lesions: reversible with normal ADC value, reversible with subnormal ADC value, and irreversible with subnormal ADC value.
