Abstract: Stroke is one of the leading causes of death. One-third of cases are deadly, and survivors normally have actually lengthened or irreparable specials need. Color Doppler ultrasound (CDU) of carotid arteries forms a fundamental part of the examination of extracranial deficiency. Precise diagnosis of hemodynamically substantial stenosis is crucial to determine patients who would take advantage of surgical intervention. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to determine the diagnostic accuracy of color dopplor ultrasound, in diagnosing vertebral and carotid arteries stenosis or occlusion in stroke patients. A comprehensive review of the literature combining online and conventional library searches as well as searches to find unpublished studies was performed including different database such PUBMED up to October 2016. Doppler ultrasonography is fairly conscious modifications in the intracranial arterial speeds. A raised intracranial circulation speed is not particular for intracranial arterial dissection, this condition is consisted of in the differential diagnosis, which likewise consists of atherosclerosis and vasospasm.
