title: [Carotid bruit due to increased blood flow without stenosis: report on two cases (author's transl)].
abstract: Initial reaction to the discovery of a carotid bruit in an adult is that a local atheromatous lesion exists. This sign may arise, however, when more distal lesions are present, such as an angioma provoking an increased rate of blood flow. All patients presenting with neurological signs of a lesion in one hemisphere should, therefore, in the absence of contra-indications, be investigated by arteriography.
