The risk of stroke in children with sickle cell disease (SCD) is detected by abnormal intracranial arterial time-averaged mean of maximum velocities (TAMVs ≥200 cm/s). Recently, extracranial internal carotid artery (eICA) arteriopathy has been reported, and a cross-sectional study showed that eICA-T...
