| Abstract: 64 patients over 40years old had been studied with ischemic infarction, carotid Doppler was done for them .My study revealed 24 patients with normal Doppler findings and 40 patients showed carotid stenosis and from the later 20 patients had ≥ 50% stenosis with large infarction by CT-scan findings and accomplished the TOAST criteria for large artery atherosclerosis, while those 20 patients with <50% stenosis did not accomplish this criteria for lacunar infarction. On the other hand ,depending on the relation between plaque with the degree of stenosis ,14 patients with <50% stenosis showed heterogenous plaque ,while those with ≥50% stenosis showed equal proportion of the types of the plaques. So patients with more stenosis are at high risk of ischemic stroke and the importance of the heterogenous plaque is same as degree of stenosis,so those with less stenosis and heterogenous plaque are also at risk of ischemic stroke | ||
