[Abstract] Intracranial artery dissection containing dissection (IAD) and dissection aneurysm, is an important etiology of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke in young and middle-aged individuals. The diagnosis of intracranial artery dissection is challenging due to the small diameter and tortuous path of intracranial vessels. As a non-invasive and non-radioactive method, vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging (VWMRI) can demonstrate the characteristic signal of intimal flip or intramural hematoma, thus diagnosing vessel dissection directly or indirectly, and playing a crucial role in pathogenesis, clinical stage, treatment and prognosis. This paper will briefly overview the application value of vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging in intracranial artery dissection.
