✦ Synopsis

Agenesis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is a rare finding that can lead to the false diagnosis of an ICA occlusion. We present the case of a young woman with agenesis of the left ICA. Diagnosis was made noninvasively by color Doppler imaging (CDI) in combination with high-resolution CT of the base of the skull. Magnetic resonance angiography confirmed the diagnosis. CDI in combination with CT of the base of the skull allows the diagnosis of ICA agenesis without the use of invasive procedures.

We describe a rare case of vertebral artery duplication in a patient with vertigo, weakness, and nausea. A color Doppler examination revealed a duplicate origin of the left vertebral artery and a hyperechoic thrombus at the origin of 1 of the duplicated arteries. CT angiography of the lower neck are

Purpose. Visualization of carotid artery stenosis is important to improve our understanding of the etiology of ischemic stroke. Two sonographic methods are available for visualizing carotid stenosis: power Doppler imaging (PDI) and color Doppler imaging (CDI). The purpose of this study was to compar
