ABSTRACT
Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is one of the most common causes of ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Compared with other causes such as extracranial diseases or cardiogenic embolism, symptomatic ICAS (sICAS) has a higher risk of stroke recurrence, often leading to the aggravation of neurological impairment and even death. More and more evidence shows that imaging features play an important role in predicting the risk of stroke recurrence and individualized secondary prevention in patients with sICAS. This article reviews the imaging features of ischemic stroke recurrence in patients with sICAS, which provides a basis for identifying sICAS patients with high risk of recurrent stroke and effective secondary prevention.
