Abstract:
Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) as a distinct arterial disease is not rare.Posterior circulation cerebral infarction was one of the most frequent events and the primary cause of death in patients with VBD.The clinicoradiologic features and the pathophysiological mechanism of ischemic stroke in VBD remained unclear and required further investigation.We aimed to provide a review of advanced studies.
