Introduction: Colour Doppler sonography is a well-established widely available,noninvasive, cost effective and a reliable method for assessing cerebrovascular circulation.It has become a valuable completion of the sonographic workup in patients with cerebralischaemia and infarction. Its accuracy is close to angiography. Objectives: To determine thefrequency of significant carotid artery stenosis in patients of cerebral ischaemia/stroke and itscharacterized sonographic appearance of plaque. Study Design: Cross sectional study, basedon nonprobability convenience sample technique. Setting: Department of Radiology, CombinedMilitary Hospital Lahore, using Colour and Power Doppler Ultrasound machine ALOKA SSD-5500. Period: 14 October 2006 to 15 March 2007. Methodology: Total of 50 diagnosed patientsof either gender, aged 30 to 70 years with cerebral ischaemia and stroke were included in thestudy. Carotid Doppler examination was conducted in each patient and findings were recorded.Results: Among 50 patients who underwent carotid Doppler examination for diagnosis ofclinically significant carotid artery stenosis, 35 patients had carotid plaques. 08 patients werediagnosed to have more than 70 % stenosis, 07 patients with more than 50 % and 20 patientsless than 50 % carotid artery stenosis. 15 patients did not show any carotid artery disease.12 patients had bilateral stenosis while 23 had unilateral disease. Mean age of the patientswith and without carotid artery disease was 52 ± 7.87 years. Conclusion: Majority of patientswith Cerebral ischemia/stroke showed carotid artery stenosis on colour Doppler ultrasound.Common age group who developed cerebral ischemia/stroke was above 50years.

Radiologic Features

AbstractCervical internal carotid artery (cICA) occlusion is a recognized cause of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in sickle cell disease (SCD), but the associated clinical and radiologic features are not well described. We reviewed data on cervical magnetic resonance angiography (cMRA) performed prospectively in 67 patients (55 children) for indications including transcranial Doppler (TCD) abnormalities, AIS, or previous AIS. cICA lesions were seen in 10 (15%) patients, including 4 of 7 patients presenting with AIS, and appear to have been missed on first presentation in 4 of 10 patients with previous AIS. Radiologic features in 7 patients were consistent with dissection. In 2 patients, there was strong clinical and radiologic evidence for thromboembolic AIS, and this was also considered possible in 4 other patients. Three of the 4 AIS patients were anticoagulated acutely, and the nontreated patient had recurrent, probably thromboembolic, AIS. TCD findings were variable, but in 4 patients there were high velocities in the cerebral vessels contralateral to the cICA stenosis. We suggest that all patients with AIS should have cMRA during acute evaluation to identify cICA occlusions that may require anticoagulation. Routine screening of children with SCD should also include evaluation of neck vessels by carotid Doppler followed by cMRA if a cervical vascular lesion is suspected.
