Abstract Background The underlying pathophysiology of BA distribution is unclear and intriguing. Using high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI), we sought to explore the plaque distribution of low-grade basilar artery (BA) atherosclerosis and its clinical relevance. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the imaging and clinical data of 61 patients with low-grade atherosclerotic BA stenosis (
