How accurate is carotid ultrasound? Says: moderate to severe increase at the level of the Bilateral CCA and ECA and the level of ICA artery. What does this mean? Dr said to do MRA to confirm

Female | 45

If in a carotid ultrasound, there is a significant increase in certain arteries, it could mean a blockage and crippling at that location. These blockages have consequences, including slow blood flow to the brain and, as a result, dizziness, fainting, or even stroke. The patient is to undergo an MRI and more precise information about the diseases will be obtained by this technology. Through MRA, the doctor can determine what to do next and suggest medications, lifestyle modifications, or surgery to loosen the veins and make them as healthy as possible. It's important not to do anything reckless but to listen to every word of advice that your cardiologist gives you and follow it to the letter so that you don't have compromised health matters.

Do my son need shunt surgery

Male | 19

I cannot provide personalized medical advice or diagnose online. If you are concerned about your son's health and whether he needs shunt surgery, consult with a professional pediatrician or a neurosurgeon. Shunt surgery is recommended for individuals with hydrocephalus or other conditions that cause an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain, leading to increased pressure and damage to brain tissue.
