Özet

Background and Purpose - The hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign (HMCAS) is a well-established marker of early ischemia on noncontrast computed tomography of the brain (NCCT). Recently the MCA dot sign has been described and proposed to indicate thrombosis of the M2 or M3 middle cerebral artery branches. The purpose of this study was to define the hyperdense ICA sign (HICAS) and determine its prevalence, diagnostic and prognostic value, and its reliability as a marker for ischemia.
