The hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign (HMCAS) is an early radiological marker to provide an early diagnosis and to identify ischemia. As reported, HMCAS is associated with heavy clot burden. Moreover, a heavy clot burden may cause obstruction of the orifices of arteries for leptomeningeal collateral flows and can lead to severe clinical conditions. However, the direct relationship between HMCAS and collateral flows remains unclear. Therefore, we explored the association between HMCAS and leptomeningeal collaterals in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Consecutive ischemic stroke patients were enrolled from January 2015 to April 2021. HMCAS appearance and collateral status were detected by multimodal computed tomography at admission. Logistic regression analyses helped to identify the association between HMCAS, collateral flows and stroke severity. In 494 included patients, 180 (36.4%) presented with HMCAS. Ipsilateral collaterals were not seen or less prominent in patients with HMCAS (P < 0.001). The HMCAS appearance was significantly associated with less collaterals (odds ratio 5.17, 95% confidence interval 3.27-8.18, P < 0.001), internal carotid artery + M1/M1 occlusion, the initial stroke severity and follow-up outcomes. Subgroup analyses further confirmed HMCAS as an indicator of poor collaterals in ischemic stroke (all P values < 0.05). HMCAS is associated with poor leptomeningeal collaterals, the stroke severity and a poor neurological outcome. Therefore, the HMCAS appearance can act as an early warning sign for healthcare professionals to be alert for poor collateral flows and poor neurological outcomes in ischemic stroke patients with middle cerebral artery occlusion.
