Objectives: To explore alteration of deep medullary veins (DMVs) in transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients by using susceptibility weightedimaging (SWI). Results: The agreement between neuroradiologists for both asymmetry and score of DMVs on TIA patients’ SWI were excellent. There were statistically significant differences for the score of DMVs between TIA and the control group (P < 0.05) even when they were analyzed by further stratification analysis according to the asymmetry of DMVs, as well as asymmetry of DMVs. Of fifty-three patients, 16 patients were present with ADMVs, including 10 iADMVs, and six cADMVs. Conclusion: The visibility of DMVs in patients with TIA were increased, with or without ADMVs, and these alterations may reflect hemodynamic information following TIA process, laying foundations for DMVs application in TIA.
