title: [Clinical appearance and differential diagnosis of intracranial arterial stenoses].
abstract: Intracranial arterial stenoses clinically present as acute, fluctuating or recurrent neurological deficits which are caused by hemodynamically impaired perfusion of the corresponding area of the brain. The type and the extent of the deficit, however, are not only determined by the location of the stenosis but also depend on the individual anatomical conditions of the patient, such as the degree of collateralization and variants of the circle of Willis.
