Summary
Isolated basilar artery dissection, a rare condition, was diagnosed using vessel wall MRI (VW-MRI). This non-invasive technique shows promise for evaluating this uncommon intracranial vasculopathy.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Radiology
- Vascular Medicine
Background:
- Isolated basilar artery dissection is a rare intracranial vasculopathy.
- It typically has a poor prognosis.
- Digital subtraction angiography is the gold standard for diagnosis, but it is invasive.
