Arterial Dissection as a Cause of Intracranial Stenosis in East Asians

[...]we performed high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI) in patients with acute ischemic stroke and intracranial arterial stenosis with no potential sources of proximal embolism. [...]studies are warranted to determine the need for time-consuming HR-MRI that may be helpful in treatment...

Summary:[...]we performed high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI) in patients with acute ischemic stroke and intracranial arterial stenosis with no potential sources of proximal embolism. [...]studies are warranted to determine the need for time-consuming HR-MRI that may be helpful in treatment of patients with intracranial stenosis (e.g., avoidance of lifelong use of high-intensity statin treatment or stenting in ICAD with a relatively benign course). 1 S.
