have focused on the diagnostic performance of bone subtraction CTA for intracranial aneurysm detection, as these
tend to be located in close proximity to the skull base.
There, the diagnostic accuracy for bone subtraction dual-source CTA was similar to that of DSA (the gold standard) (Cheng et al 2015, Lu et al 2012).
Contrast-enhanced (ce)-MRA and TOF-MRA are
not limited by vessel calcifi cation. However, being a
fl ow-sensitive method 3D-TOF-MRA is susceptible to artifacts generated by the physiologic turbulent fl ow with-
in the carotid siphon, which might be amplifi ed by ves-
sel elongation, a feature frequently seen with increasing
age. Therefore, bilateral signal interruptions within the
carotid siphon are frequently found. In case of a real underlying stenosis, 3D-TOF-MRA tends to aggravate the
grade of stenosis or even demonstrate complete occlusion. Consequently, for skull base vessel assessment,
ce-3D-FLASH-MRA is superior to 3D-TOF-MR A despite
venous enhancement of the cavernous sinus (Yang et al
2002). In the case presented here these artifacts were
not of relevance as little elongation was present in our
young patient and the clinical symptoms matched the
side of the pathologic fi nding. Therefore, a stenosis was
beyond doubt. It was only the degree of stenosis that
was questioned, as the conclusions of the various imaging methods were initially contradictory.
Interestingly, DSA—performed on the same day as the
MRI—was unable to clearly confi rm the MRA diagnosis.
Despite imaging in four diff erent projection planes, only
a mild ICA stenosis could be suspected, which would
probably have been overlooked without knowledge of the
MRA fi ndings. Presumably the stenosis was somewhat
masked in DSA by the overlying posterior communicating
artery (PCoA) off shoot, which was less of a problem in TOF-
MRA due to the lower fl ow (and, correspondingly, size).
Also, the MRA MIP is limited to a so-called slab or volume
defi ned by the operator, thus limiting the extent of overly-
ing vessels in projection images. Last but not least, state-ofthe-art DSA nowadays includes rotational 3D angiography,
allowing for 3D image reconstructions of unprecedented
image quality, which were not available in our case and
most probably would have revealed the critical stenosis.
Subsequently, the clear ultrasound fi nding of a high-grade
carotid siphon stenosis was surprising as it corrected the
DSA interpretation and confi rmed the MRA fi nding. To date,
DSA is considered to be the method providing the highest
spatial resolution, correcting doubtful fi ndings of the other
methods almost without question. However, our example
demonstrates that it is always valuable to combine the fi nd-
ings of the available diagnostic techniques to avoid potential
misdiagnoses. The interpretation of fi ndings should include
critical assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of each
method. A problem of standard biplane DSA technique is
the limited number of imaging planes, often restricted to
the “routine” lateral and posteroanterior views. However,
this was not the underlying reason in our case. We assume
that here the unique anatomy of the carotid siphons and the
distribution of the diluted contrast agent within this vessel
segment was the main factor (for further discussion on evaluation of intracranial stenoses, see Case 5).

Case 15
Near-occlusion of the Right and High-grade Stenosis of the Left
Extracranial Internal Carotid Artery
Clinical Presentation
A 58-year-old man was admitted after suff ering a tran-
sient left-sided weakness and confusion 3 hours before
presentation. The symptoms had already completely resolved. The patient was a smoker and suff ered from ar-
terial hypertension, which had been treated for 15 years.
The neurologic examination revealed no defi cits.
Initial Neuroradiologic Findings
Cerebral MRI on the day of admission demonstrated a
large anterior territorial infarction in the right middle
cerebral artery (MCA) territory. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (ce-MRA) was consistent
with a near-occlusion of the right internal carotid artery
(ICA) with a marked poststenotic vessel collapse and a
high-grade stenosis of the contralateral ICA. Intracranial
time-of-fl ight (TOF) MRA showed only a weak signal in the
right ICA and right MCA corresponding to the extracranial
ICA near-occlusion. A small ipsilateral posterior communicating artery (PCoA) was seen. The nevertheless weak
MCA signal indicated a compromised collateral pathway.
The lower signal intensity of the left M1-MCA, compared
with the ipsilateral posterior cerebral artery (PCA), also
indicated impaired left-sided perfusion (Fig. B15.1 and
Fig. B15.2).
Suspected Diagnosis
Right hemispheric transient ischemic attack (TIA) and
large right MCA territorial infarction, probably caused by
artery-to-artery embolism from right-sided near-occlusion
of the ICA. Asymptomatic high-grade stenosis of the left ICA.
Questions to Answer by
Ultrasound Techniques
• Could the right ICA near-occlusion and the left highgrade ICA stenosis be confi rmed?
• What was the underlying vascular pathology?
• What was the resulting intracranial collateral fl ow
pattern?
Initial Neurosonologic Findings
Extracranial Duplex Sonography (Day 2)
B-mode imaging demonstrated bilateral atherosclerotic
changes, predominantly with homogeneous hypoechoic
plaques in both carotid bifurcations. There were no signs of
arteritis. The right common carotid artery (CCA) displayed
a mildly increased pulsatility. Both external carotid arteries
(ECAs) had fl ow signals considered to be “internalized.” The
right ICA showed a stump signal at the bulb. However, after
adjusting the settings for low fl ow signals, i.e., reduced pulse
repetition frequency (PRF) and increased gain, a severe
turbulent fl ow with a fl ow velocity of 121/38 cm/s was
detected slightly distal to the ICA bulb. Distal to that, the ICA
was partly collapsed (diameter 3.1 mm) showing a marked
poststenotic fl ow pattern and low velocities (14/5 cm/s).
The left ICA revealed a stenotic fl ow signal with turbulence
and a marked increased fl ow velocity (394/231 cm/s). The
distal vessel segments displayed a spiculated fl ow sig-
nal but otherwise no signs of a hemodynamic restriction.
Normal fi ndings were seen in the vertebral arteries (VAs)
(Fig. B15.3–Fig. B15.11; see also Video
Transcranial Duplex Sonography
The right MCA and anterior cerebral artery (ACA) were
antegrade perfused and presented a moderate poststenotic fl ow pattern. A residual fl ow was seen in the
C6-ICA. The ophthalmic artery (OA) had a marked retrograde fl ow (62/26 cm/s). Flow velocity in the right
P1 segment of the PCA was higher than in the ipsilateral P2-PCA (79/35 cm/s versus 43/17 cm/s) indicating collateral fl ow via the PCoA. Accordingly, the PCoA
was detected with a mild turbulent fl ow. On the left
side, a more compromised anterior circulation was observed. The poststenotic fl ow pattern of the antegrade
perfused M1-MCA and A1-ACA was more obvious. The
A1-ACA revealed a high velocity indicating collateral
fl ow (98/53 cm/s). The C6-ICA was markedly reduced
in fl ow and revealing a severe poststenotic fl ow pat-
tern. As on the right side, a marked retrograde fl ow was
seen in the OA. Unlike the right side, no PCoA was seen
and the P1- and P2-PCA segments had continuously increased systolic fl ow velocities ~80–90 cm/s, indicating
B15.1).

leptomeningeal collateral fl ow. Accordingly, elevated
fl ow velocities were seen in cortical PCA branches, the
anterior temporal artery (ATA), and occipitotemporal artery (OTA). Normal fl ow patterns were seen in
the vertebrobasilar arteries (Fig. B15.12–Fig. B15.27;
see also Video
B15.2).
Conclusion
Bilateral severe atherosclerotic macroangiopathy with
near-occlusion of the right ICA and high-grade stenosis
(>80% according to NASCET criteria, >90% according to
ECST). Collateral blood fl ow to the right anterior circula-
tion from the PCA via the PCoA and retrograde OA and to
the left anterior circulation leptomeningeal via the ACA
and PCA as well as via a retrograde OA.
Conventional Angiography (Day 3)
Because of the bilateral impaired anterior circulation
perfusion we decided to treat the symptomatic right ICA
by stenting without delay. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) confi rmed the near-occlusion of the right
ICA. In the early arterial phase the ICA appeared occluded (similar to the initial duplex examination analyzing
the carotid bulb). In the subsequent images (late arterial
phase) the residual fl ow and the collapsed vessel were
detected. DSA also confi rmed the left high-grade ICA
stenosis (Fig. B15.28).
Fig. B15.29 shows a schematic of the patient’s extraand intracranial brain-supplying arteries before stenting
of the right ICA.
and the PCA signals remained unchanged. The increased
fl ow velocity in the right A1-ACA was therefore assumed
to indicate leptomeningeal collateral fl ow to the left
a n t e r i o r c i r c u l a t i o n ( Fig. B15.32, Fig. B15 .33, Fi g. B15.34,
Fig. B15.35, Fig. B15.36).
Conclusion
Right ICA after stent insertion without residual stenosis and normalized right intracranial circulation.
Unchanged left high-grade ICA. The left collateral circulation ameliorated slightly via the activation of the right
A1-ACA.
Fig. B15.37 shows a schematic of the extra- and intracranial brain-supplying arteries after successful stenting
of the right ICA.
Clinical Course (2)
Because of the patient’s relatively young age and the
hypoechoic plaques, considered to increase the risk
of further strokes, a stent was also inserted in the left
ICA 2 months later. Since then, the patient has had no
further ischemic attacks. Neuropsychologic testing
revealed a signifi cant improvement of his cognitive
function, especially of his alertness, response time, and
capability of readjustment.
Follow-up Neuroradiologic Findings
(2 Months)
Clinical Course (1)
The stenting proceeded uneventfully and the patient
was started on aspirin and clopidogrel for 6 weeks. No
ischemic events occurred. Notably, the patient and his
wife reported that his neuropsychologic status, alertness,
drive, and concentration had increased and had ameliorated even when compared with his status before stroke.
Follow-up Neurosonologic Findings
(6 Weeks)
Extracranial Duplex Sonography
Doppler spectrum analysis showed a normalized fl ow
in the right stented ICA segment without evidence of
restenosis. The left high-grade ICA stenosis remained unchanged (Fig. B15.30 and Fig. B15.31).
Transcranial Duplex Sonography
The right ICA, MCA, ACA, and PCA segments as well
as the right OA demonstrated normalized fl ow signals
i n d i c a t i n g a d e q u a t e fl ow and remission of the PCoA ac-
tivation. Interestingly, fl ow velocity of the right A1-ACA
increased markedly. The left M1-MCA as well as A1-ACA
MRI showed no new ischemic or other lesion after the
second intervention. TOF-MRA presented normalized
fi ndings with bright signals of both MCA and ACA now
similar to the PCA signals. The right PCoA was no longer
visible, indicating the abolished PCoA fl ow (Fig. B15.38).
Follow-up Neurosonologic Findings
(3 Months)
Extracranial Duplex Sonography
Doppler spectrum analysis within the left ICA stent
showed a normalized fl ow, and the pulsatility index (PI)
of the left ECA had increased. The contralateral carotid
artery remained unchanged (not shown).
Transcranial Duplex Sonography
Intracranial fi ndings in the left ICA, MCA, ACA, PCA, and
OA had normalized. Interestingly, fl ow velocities in the
right C6-ICA and A1-ACA were lower than before, indicating the disappearance of the previous leptomeningeal
collateral fl ow from the right A1-ACA to the left anterior
circulation. Also, the proximal cortical branches of the left
PCA (ATA and OTA) were no longer detected (Fig. B15.39–
Fig. B15.47).
