Abstract:
Asymmetrically prominent veins sign (APVS) displayed by susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) can noninvasively reflect the dynamic changes of brain tissue in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). It provides blood flow and metabolic information from the perspective of pathophysiology, which is helpful to evaluate the clinical condition and outcome of patients with AIS. This article reviews the clinical significance of the presence of APVS on SWI in patients with AIS.
