Interpretation of angiography is the reference standard but is not feasible for routine use. Of feasible methods, flow measurements with phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) were considerably better than other alternatives when assessed blinded: 90%\u2013100% sensitive and 99%\u2013100% specific and inter-rater kappa 0.98\u20131.0. CNO was consistently common (30% of \u2a7e50% stenosis) in studies with \u201cgood\u201d CNO diagnostics but was also often described as rare. Symptomatic CNO have no benefit with revascularization in studies with \u201cgood\u201d CNO diagnostics, which foremost applies to the moderate subtype (without full collapse). The more severe CNO subtype (with full collapse) seems to have a very high risk of stroke within the first 2\u2009days, but revascularization performed sufficiently early to prevent this has never been assessed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>CNO diagnostics is difficult and that CNO is perceived as rare by many is likely due to poor diagnostics.
