Intraparenchymal hemorrhage the blood vessel is narrowed, or if there is an abnormality of a blood vessel known as an aneurysm. Carotid duplex: A carotid duplex is an ultrasound study that assesses whether or not you have atherosclerosis (narrowing) of the carotid arteries. These arteries are the large blood vessels in your neck that feed your brain. Transcranial Doppler (TCD): Transcranial Doppler is an ultrasound study that assesses whether or not you have atherosclerosis (narrowing) of the blood vessels inside of your brain. It can also be used to see if you have emboli (blood clots) in your blood vessels. Intracerebral hemorrhages
Internal carotid artery on its lateral side is the abducent nerve, or cranial nerve VI. The named branches of the cavernous segment are: The cavernous segment also gives rise to small capsular arteries that supply the wall of the cavernous sinus. The clinoid segment, or C5, is another short segment of the internal carotid that begins after the artery exits the cavernous sinus at the proximal dural ring and extends distally to the distal dural ring, after which the carotid artery is considered "intra-dural" and has entered the subarachnoid space. The clinoid segment normally has no named branches, though the ophthalmic artery may
