Studies conducted at the Medical College of Georgia (MCG) in the mid-1980's have shown that transcranial doppler (TCD) can identify children at high risk for stroke by detecting high flow rate in major intracranial arteries [ 8 9 ] . Children with flow velocities of 200 cm/sec or higher in middle cerebral or internal carotid arteries (normal = 140-170 cm/sec for sickle cell children) had a stroke risk of 10-15% per year, which represents a 20-fold increase over that for unselected children with sickle cell disease.
Stroke is a devastating complication of sickle cell disease, which occurs in 11% of the patients by 20 years of age as shown by the multi-center Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell Disease (CSSCD) [ 3 4 ] . In sickle cell patients <20 years of age, stroke is predominantly ischemic and results from the involvement of medium sized to large intracranial arteries.

Where clinically indicated, the evaluation may also include carotid ultrasonography; MR, CT, or digital subtraction angiography; transthoracic or transesophageal echocardiography; resting and ambulatory electrocardiography; intracranial arterial imaging; and additional blood testing.
Kriger et al [ 28] identified a correlation between intracranial pressure, analyses of evoked potentials and GCS score, regardless of aetiology of coma.
