Susceptibility vessel sign (SVS) on susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) has a high sensitivity and specificity to detect the intra-arterial thrombus in anterior circulation stroke. However, SVS has not been evaluated in posterior circulation stroke.We reviewed the data from patients with acute posterior cerebral artery (PCA) infarction within 24 hours from stroke onset. To elucidate the usefulness of SVS for the detection of intraluminal thrombus in acute PCA infarction, the frequency and location of SVS were compared with those of occlusion on magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and hyperdense PCA sign on computed tomography (CT).Twenty-five patients with acute PCA infarction were enrolled in the study. The SVS was found in 92
