title: [Facial telethermography in the diagnosis of carotid insufficiency in the extracranial sector].
abstract: The usefulness of facial telethermography in the diagnosis of circulatory insufficiency owing to occlusion of the extracranial vessels is discussed. The method has proved of great assistance in the screening of patients with vascular diseases, and in the choice of a subsequent contrastographic examination. It gave a significant number of positive findings in cases of insufficiency of the internal carotid artery. The number of false positives and false negatives was virtually negligible.
