Bilateral Wallerian Degeneration of the Pontocerebellar Tracts

Figure 2

3 months after left paramedian acute pontine infarction. Axial T2WI (a) hyperintense signal in pons due to chronic infarct. Axial T2WI (b) bilateral and symmetrical hyperintense signal in MCPs due to WD. Axial DWI (c) and ADC map (d) shows hyperintense signal. Axial DWI (e) and ADC map (f) shows restricted diffusion due to new acute infarct in the right side of the pons.
