MRI studies in patients with atherosclerosis often reveal ill-defined hyperintensity in the pons on T2-weighted images. This pontine hyperintensity (PHI) does not fulfill the criteria of a brain infarct, and its clinical relevance is not established. We examined the frequency, as well as the radiological and clinical correlates, of PHI in poststroke patients.
