My 57-year-old aunt just got her TCD results back.
Referral diagnosis: G45 Transient ischemic attacks and related syndromes.
The report says:
Vertebrobasilar TCD:
AVR: -43 cm/s
AVL: -46 cm/s
AB: -45 cm/s
Willis's Circle TCD:
Left side:
ACM: +95 cm/s
CS: +84 cm/s
ACA: -73 cm/s
ACP: +62 cm/s
Right side:
ACM: +98 cm/s
CS: +86 cm/s
ACA: -75 cm/s
ACP: +64 cm/s
Findings: Vertebrobasilar circulation appears normal. Willis's Circle circulation shows increased SBV.
I was wondering if someone could explain this result, specifically what SBV means and what might be causing it to increase...
