Reduced Internal Carotid Artery Flow in Color-coded Carotid Duplex Sonography.

CONCLUSION: CCD should be carefully performed and appropriately interpreted in reduced ICA flow. Additional magnetic resonance angiography is helpful in distinguishing stenosis or occlusion from ICA dissection and moyamoya disease, and skull base computed tomography is warranted for the confirmatory diagnosis of ICA hypoplasia. Key Words: color-coded carotid duplex sonography, dissection, hypoplasia, internal carotid artery, reduced flow, stenosis. PMID: 28382613 [PubMed - in process]
