Abstract

Doppler ultrasound is the initial non-invasive study for the evaluation of the carotid vasculature, it will help us to establish the presence of tortuous paths, the presentation variable, the flow velocities, and if there is a hemodynamic repercussion. In this pictorial review article, the different presentations of carotid tortuosities will be discussed, as well as the correct evaluation of color and spectral Doppler.
