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.
The vasodilator effect of acetazolamide on the cerebral vasculature has been characterized by both PET and transcranial Doppler (TCD) studies [ 21 22 ] . At a dose of 15 mg/kg the effect of acetazolamide is thought to be supramaximal with maximal cerebral vasodilation induced within about 20 minutes.
TCD transcranial doppler
Data from the STOP study showed that ~10% of patients with Hb SS between the ages of 2-16 years are at risk for stroke as determined by Transcranial Doppler (TCD) velocities of 200 cm/sec or greater [ 11 ] . TCD velocity elevation can be due to two factors: reduction of arterial diameter due to stenosis and/or increased volume flow through the artery.
