DWI images show symmetric hyperintensity of the basal ganglia, thalamus, cortex of occipital and parietal lobes, and also the primary motor cortex of the posterior frontal lobes with corresponding reduced values on ADC maps indicating restricted diffusion which is consistent with hypoxic ischemic brain injury in the hyperacute phase.
