Objective:  To explore the relationships of asymmetric deep medullary veins (ADMV) to asymmetric cortical veins (ACV), leptomeningeal collaterals and prognosis in patients with occlusion of a large cerebral artery.   Methods:  Clinical and imaging data of 56 patients with occlusion of a large cerebral artery were collected and reviewed. We assessed the time delayed between stroke onset and MR imaging (within 24 h of stroke onset), extension of cerebral infarction using the Alberta stroke program early CT score based on diffusion-weighted imaging (ASPECTs). ADMV and ACV were assessed using susceptibility-weighted imaging. The presence of ADMV (ACV) was defined as deep medullary veins (cortical veins) of the affected hemisphere that were greater in number and diameter than in the contralateral hemisphere. To evaluate leptomeningeal collaterals, the hyperintense vessel sign (HVS) was detected using T2 weighted fluid attenuated inversion recovery images. At 90 days, a modified Rankin scale score (mRS) was assessed to evaluate the clinical outcome.   Results:  Of 56 patients, 27 presented with ADMV. Those patients who presented with and without ADMV differed significantly in HVS and ACV ( P  < 0.05) but not in time delayed between stroke onset and MR imaging, age, gender, stroke risk factors, baseline NIHSS score, or modified Rankin scale score at 3 months ( P  > 0.05). Logistic regression analysis found that the presence of ADMV was independently related to HVS and ACV (ACV: OR 95% C.I., 1.287–4.368; HVS: OR 95% C.I., 1.132–4.887).   Conclusions:  The presence of ADMV on SWI was associated with prominent ACV and good leptomeningeal collateral flow but was not related to prognosis in patients with occlusion of a large cerebral artery.
