Up to 12% of patients with stroke have intracranial arterial dolichoectasia (IADE) and the
basilar artery is affected in 80% of these cases. Diagnostic criteria and prognosis studies of …

Dolichoectasia is an arterial disease that causes dilatation and/or tortuosity of the affected
vessel. The prevalence of dolichoectasia increases with age, and this disease is also …

BACKGROUND: Small deep brain infarcts are often caused by two different vascular
pathologies: 1. atheromatous occlusion at the orifice of large caliber penetrating arteries …

Background: Clinicoradiological variability of vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) is known.
Little is known about cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and neuroradiological profiles of …

An increased diameter (ectasis) and/or long and tortuous course (dolichosis) of at least one
cerebral artery define intracranial arterial dolichoectasia (IADE). IADE could be detected …

Background and Purpose—Basilar trunk aneurysms (BTAs), defined as aneurysms distal to
the basilar origin and proximal to the origin of the superior cerebellar artery, are rare and …

Background and Purpose: Acute ischemic stroke is a known complication of intracranial
dolichoectasia (IDE). However, the frequency of IDE causing brain infarction is unknown. We …

Background and Purpose Subclinical atherosclerotic plaques are common in patients with
pontine infarctions (PIs) but without basilar artery (BA) stenosis. We hypothesized that BA …

The prevalence and implications of vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD), a causative
arteriopathy of stroke are unclear in Asian stroke patients. Through a comparative study of …

Intracranial arterial dolichoectasia (IADE), also known as dilatative arteriopathy of the brain
vessels, refers to an increase in the length and diameter of at least one intracranial artery …
