Intracranial atherosclerosis

Louis R. Caplan

Intracranial atherosclerosis is the dominant cause of stroke in over 70 per cent of the world's population. Globalization is leading to an increasingly heterogeneous society everywhere. Advances in imaging technology allow this previously inaccessible pathology to be clinically studied. Edited by internationally renowned clinicians, this is the first book to examine intra cranial causes of stroke. Clinical practice is allied with basic science to guide all those with an interest in stroke on the diagnosis and management of intra intra cranial atherosclerosis.
