The Association between FLAIR Vascular Hyperintensity and Stroke Outcome Varies with Time from Onset [ADULT BRAIN]

CONCLUSIONS:
FLAIR vascular hyperintensity is associated with unfavorable outcome within 6 hours to 14 days of onset, while the wider distribution of distal FLAIR vascular hyperintensity may be favorable beyond 14 days of onset in MCA infarction. Symptom-to-MR imaging time should be considered when assessing the prognostic value of FLAIR vascular hyperintensity.
