Standardising the diagnosis and imaging of intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis in Asia: a call for regional consensus

Key Points

• Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis is a major cause of ischaemic stroke, particularly impacting Asian populations.
• Urgent action is needed due to evidence gaps related to the condition's burden in Asia.
• Standardization of diagnosis and imaging practices is crucial to improve outcomes for affected individuals.
• Regional consensus could facilitate better management strategies and research efforts focusing on intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.
