We categorized it based on its morphology and investigated clinical outcomes and fate of IT in those patients. <i>Results:</i> Among 495 patients with acute ischemic stroke, 9 (1.9%, 8 men, age range of 61–84 years) were identified with IT. Patients with IT could be categorized into three groups: a filling defect (4) during digital subtraction angiography (DSA), a stenosis-mimic lesion on DSA (3), and a mobile mass on carotid duplex (2). All patients had follow-up vascular imaging studies. Complete or partial resolution of IT was seen in 8 patients. Four patients developed transient or minor ischemic symptoms, which were potentially related to IT. Stenosis-mimic lesions and IT adjacent to atherosclerotic plaques appeared to be associated with unstable clinical courses. <i>Conclusions:</i> IT can be categorized according to its morphological features. The outcome may depend on the morphology and location of the IT. Intraluminal thrombus;Stroke;Angiography;Carotid duplex;Prognosis 2009-06-12
