To determine the diagnostic accuracy of extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion by carotid duplex sonography and ophthalmic flow direction, we compared both carotid sonograms and angiograms in 82 cases of ischemic cerebrovascular disease. A total of 157 carotid arteries were available for comparison. The overall diagnostic accuracy of ICA occlusion by duplex scanning was 96% (sensitivity, 83%; specificity, 98%; positive predictive value, 91%), by ophthalmic flow examination, 95% (sensitivity, 79%; specificity, 98%; positive predictive value 86%), and by combined study, 98% (sensitivity, 96%; specificity, 98%; positive predictive value 92%). We recommend that the ophthalmic flow examination should be used in combination with other sonographic methods in detecting extracranial carotid artery disease. The combined study gives higher diagnostic accuracy than the single method. When an occlusion or a tight stenosis is uncertain on carotid sonograms, color Doppler or angiography is indicated for further confirmation.
