AbstractThis report describes diffusion-weighted MRI findings of some intracerebral hemorrhages clinically undifferentiated from ischemic stroke. We treated patients with characteristic features of intracerebral hemorrhages that could distinguish themselves from ischemic lesion on diffusion-weighted imaging. Therefore, we think diffusion-weighted imaging could be an emergency screening tool for ischemic stroke as an alternative to computed tomography, and the EP should be familiar with the diffusion-weighted imaging findings of intracerebral hemorrhage as well as cerebral infarction.
