Patients with Ischemic Stroke in Vertebrobasilar Circulation

Vertebrobasilar acclusion is a life-treatening event that requeres prompt diagnostic evaluation and subsequent therapy. Advanced magnetic resonance imagin (MRI) methods, including diffusion-weighted imaging and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), are highly sensitive for the detection of ischemic tissue injury, and for the detection and localization of intracranial arterial occlusion and stenosis.In the era of thrombolytic therapy , MRI and MRA provide useful information for therapeutic decision making in the early stage of stroke evaluation. This retrospective review included patients with posterior circulation symptomatology examined at our Department between July 2002 and January 2005, 8 female and 11 male, mean age 54, 9 years.The aim was to present the possibilities of mRI and MRA in the management of patients with iscemic stroke in posterior circulation.
