Let $(M, g)$ be a steady gradient Ricci soliton of dimension n ≥ 4 which has positive sectional curvature and is asymptotically cylindrical. Under these assumptions, we show that $(M, g)$ is rotationally symmetric. In particular, our results apply to steady gradient Ricci solitons in dimension $4$ which are κ-noncollapsed and have positive isotropic curvature.
