- Summary:
- 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 technology allow this previously inaccessible pathology to be clinically studied.

Clinical practice is allied with basic science to guide all those with an interest in stroke on the diagnosis and management of intracranial atherosclerosis
