RESUMO
Intracranial artery dissection is rare in the clinic, but could account for a large proportion of young patients with intracranial vascular diseases. High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging is a direct method of vessel wall imaging and widely used in clinical practice due to advantages including high spatial resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio and strong reproducibility. The article briefly introduces the typical findings of intracranial artery dissection in high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging and the unique advantages of features such as intimal flap, double-lumen, lumen diameter change and intramural hematoma. It makes up for the deficiency of traditional lumen imaging in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of intracranial artery dissection, providing a strong basis for the diagnosis and intervention of intracranial vascular dissection.
