Abstract
Between June 1988 and February 1990 we examined 44 patients who had suffered acute stroke due to an acute occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA). Only patients who could be investigated within 24 h of the onset of stroke were included. All patients were examined by transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) at fixed intervals six times during the first 24 h after stroke, and then on days 2, 3,10, and 17. A simultaneous neurological examination was also carried out each time. Angiography was performed in 24 patients during the first 2 h after admission to the hospital.
