Intracranial atherosclerosis is the dominant cause of stroke in
over 70% of the world’s population. Globalization is leading
to an increasingly heterogeneous society everywhere. Advances in
imaging techinology allow this previously inaccessible pathology to
be clinically studied.
Edited by internationally renowned clinicians, Intracranial
Atherosclerosis is the first book to examine intracranial
causes of stroke. Clinical practice is allied with basic science to
guide all those with an interest in stroke on the diagnosis and
management of intracranial atherosclerosis.
