Abstract WP231: Detection of Intramural Hematoma by Susceptibility Weighted Image in Vertebral Artery Dissection

Objectives The radiologic diagnosis of vertebral artery dissection (VAD) depends on the characteristic intraluminal findings on angiographic study although the pathology of VAD is intramural hematoma. We aimed to know whether ‘intramural hematoma sign (IHS)’ on susceptibility weighted image (SWI) in vertebral artery is specific for VAD. Methods We retrospectively analyzed SWI and phase map images of the consecutive patients with ischemic stroke...
