Cerebral cortical restricted diffusion or gyriform restricted diffusion refers to curvilinear hyperintense signal involving the cerebral cortex on DWI images with a corresponding low signal on ADC images.
Causes include:
Vascular thrombo-occlusive disease (most common) 1
Hemodynamic changes
Infections
Metabolic
