Abstract
We report a case of an asymptomatic vasospasm with a focal, reversible appa rent diffusion coefficient ( ADC) decrease after a middle cerebral artery a neurysm rupture. This isolated decrease of ADC has not yet been reported in this pathological situation. It could be interesting to predict the risk o f ischemic delayed complications of vasospasm.
