• The neurological assessment of basilar artery occlusion stroke patients can be challenging and there are yet no validated imaging scores established in daily clinical practice. • The pcASCO combines the rating of early ischemic changes with the status of the intracranial posterior circulation collaterals. • The pcASCO showed high diagnostic accuracy to predict functional outcome and malignant cerebellar edema and could serve as a simple and feasible imaging tool to support treatment selection in uncertain situations, or to predict clinical outcome.
