Abstract: ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical application of transcranial Doppler (TCD) in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular diseases (ICVD). MethodsPatients complaining hemiplegia (n=38) or dizziness (n=35) after ICVD were detected with TCD and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). ResultsThe incidence of abnormal intracranial large arteries detection was similar in patients complaining hemiplegia (χ2=1.03,P>0.05) between TCD and MRA, but different in patients complaining dizziness(χ2=10.76,P<0.05). ConclusionIn the patients with ICVD, TCD can be used in those complaining hemiplegia as a screening test before vascular interventional therapy, but be worthless in those complaining dizziness.
