Research progresses in high-resolution MRI of vascular wall lesions in young patients with cerebral infarction / 中国医学影像技术

ABSTRACT

Clinical manifestations of young cerebral infarction patients are similar to those of elderly patients, but the etiology is complicated, and vascular lesions are important pathogenic factors,mainly including atherosclerosis, cervicocerebral artery dissection, moyamoya disease, central nervous system vasculitis and cerebral small vessel disease. High-resolution MRI, which compensates for the insufficiency of traditional imaging examination in detecting vascular lesions, can clearly show vascular wall lesions and therefore having high clinical value in diagnosis of young cerebral infarction. The research progresses in high-resolution MRI of vascular wall lesions in young cerebral infarction patients were reviewed in this paper.
