title: [Doppler sonography in the diagnosis of extracranial vascular changes].
abstract: On account of cerebrovascular insufficiencies or asymptomatic vascular noises which had taken place 45 patients were examined by means of Doppler sonography and after this by means of angiography. The judgement of the common carotid artery, the internal and external carotid arteries, the vertebral artery, the subclavian artery and the supratrochlear artery were involved into the ultrasound investigation. The sensitivity of the supratrochlear compression test was 50% in the diagnosis of high-degree stenoses and occlusions of the internal carotid artery, whereas the sensitivity of the complete ultrasound investigation way about 80%. The advantages and disadvantages of the ultrasound Doppler sonography investigation are discussed.
