Arterial Tortuosity: An Imaging Biomarker of Childhood Stroke Pathogenesis? [Clinical Sciences]
Conclusions—
In children with dissection and transient cerebral arteriopathy, cerebral arteries demonstrate increased tortuosity. Quantified arterial tortuosity may represent a clinically relevant imaging biomarker of vascular biology in pediatric stroke.
