Imaging Classification of Internal Carotid Artery Hypoplasia Based on Distal Ophthalmic Segment Occlusion
Background: Internal carotid artery (ICA) hypoplasia (ICAH) is rare. The classification of ICAH is largely unclear. The aim of the study is to propose a new imaging classification for ICAH based on the occlusion of the distal ophthalmic segment and discuss the clinical and radiological differences between the different types. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients with congenital ICAH diagnosed at the Department of Neurology of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital between June 2011 and June 2016.
