Further understanding of the characteristics of intracranial atherosclerosis with symptomatic middle cerebral artery (MCA) steno-occlusion could be helpful for stroke risk stratification and treatment strategy modification. This study sought to assess the association between infarction pattern and size and intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) in patients with symptomatic MCA steno-occlusion lesion. Our key findings are that 36.8% IPH characterized by SNAP imaging exist in symptomatic steno-occlusion MCA. In additon, our findings indicate that IPH together with stenosis may account for the heterogeneity of infarct sizes and patterns.
