Sažetak
TCD is a useful nonivasive method of intracranial circulation assessment. It obtains real time circulation information, painlessly at bedside. Apart from locating occluded or stenotic blood vessel, our aim was to determine whether it could also be used in assessment of cerebral circulation in haemorrhagic strokes. We examined 101 stroke patient admitted during 6 month period. Mean blood flow velocities (MBFV) were measured in carotid siphon (CS), medial cerebral artery (ACM), anterior cerebral artery (ACA), posterior cerebral artery (ACP) of both right and left hemisphere, right vertebral artery (RAV), left vertebral artery (LVA) and basilar artery (AB). For all patients risk factor assessment was made for hypertension, cholesterol levels, diabetes mellitus, smoking, scute miocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, migraine, and TIA. There were 53 men and 48 women. Seventy-three patients had ischaemic stroke, 13 patients had haemorrhagic stroke, 4 had subarachnoid haemorrhage and 11 had transitory ischemic attacks. Mean age was 72 +- 10 years. Thirty-six patientshad a complete TCD report, 40 patients had values reported from one side of Willis’ circleand 54 patients had values of vertebrobasilar system. For remaining patients all values were not obtained due to technical difficulties. Measured values showed statistically significant difference. Differences were observed in the right ACM showing lower MBFV than compared conditions. TCD plays an important role in assessment of intracranial circulation and can be helpful in prediction of stroke type.
