Abstract:
Intracranial artery stenosis is the main cause of ischemic stroke in China. Because of the high recurrence rate of stroke in these patients, the selected patients may benefit from interventional therapy. Therefore, risk stratification and evaluation of intracranial artery stenosis are helpful to determine the clinical treatment plan. High resolution magnetic resonance imaging can clearly show the characteristics of intracranial vascular wall, which is helpful to comprehensively evaluate intracranial vessels. This article reviews the characteristics of vulnerable plaque of intracranial atherosclerosis, the pathogenesis of stroke and the clinical application of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging in intracranial artery stenosis.
