Intracranial vessel wall MRI in ischemic stroke in systemic lupus erythematosus: radiological characteristics and clinical associations
HRVWI highlights the frequent occurrence of VWLs in large- and medium-sized intracranial arteries in SLE ischemic stroke patients. The two main VWL patterns were CTE and ETE lesions, which represented vasculitis and atherosclerosis, respectively, and which were associated with disease activity and LN. The VWLs rarely disappeared even in patients who received combined therapy for several months.
