[Abstract] Objective: To evaluate the manifestations of basilar artery dissecting aneurysm on magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging.Materials and Methods: Twenty-seven cases of basilar artery dissecting aneurysm were examined by magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging.Results: Basilar artery dissecting aneurysm included vascular circuity expansion, intramural hematoma, intimal flap sign, double lumen sign, long irregular or thread-like stenosis, rat tail-shaped occlusion.Conclusion: Vascular circuity expansion, intramural hematoma, intimal flap sign, double lumen sign, long irregular or thread-like stenosis, rat tail-shaped occlusion can be identified on magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging in patients with basilar artery dissecting aneurysm. Magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging is a good examine method of basilar artery dissecting aneurysm.
