Transorbital Doppler with carotid siphon monitoring detects right-to-left shunt effectively.

Conclusion TOD with CS monitoring is able to detect RLS effectively in different populations including healthy subjects, cryptogenic stroke, transient ischemia attack, and migraine patients. In comparing to the TTD with MCA approach, TOD with CS monitoring could detect comparable rate of RLS, but more high grades of RLS. PMID: 29350100 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
