Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We describe the use of serial transcranial Doppler studies to evaluate neurovascular disease in three girls presenting with acute stroke due to primary cerebral vasculitis (n = 2) and West Nile vasculitis (n = 1). Correlation of abnormal findings on transcranial Doppler sonography was compared with those of MR angiography and conventional angiography in each child. All three girls had left middle cerebral artery infarcts on MR imaging, with an abnormal left middle cerebral artery detected by MR angiography, conventional angiography, and transcranial Doppler sonography in each child. In all three cases, findings of the transcranial Doppler sonography, MR imaging, and catheter angiography were concordant. |
