BACKGROUND: Distal medium vessel occlusions (DMVOs) contribute substantially to the incidence of acute ischemic strokes (AIS) and pose distinct challenges in clinical management and prognosis. Neuroimaging techniques, such as Fluid Attenuation Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) imaging and cerebral blood volume (CBV) index derived from perfusion imaging, have significantly improved our ability to assess the impact of strokes and predict their outcomes. The primary objective of this study was to investigate relationship between follow-up infarct volume (FIV) as assessed by FLAIR imaging in patients with DMVOs...
