Abstract: Studies have shown that vertebral artery hypoplasia(VAH)is associated with posterior circulation ischemic stroke,but it is difficult to distinguish VAH from atherosclerotic stenosis in cerebrovascular angiography and other imaging examinations,and there is currently no unified diagnostic standard for intracranial VAH.The authors reviewed the definition and incidence of intracranial VAH from the aspects of autopsy and imaging,and summarized its relationship with posterior circulation ischemic stroke,in order to improve the clinicians'understanding of intracranial VAH.
