Abstract
Transcranial Doppler sonography shows potential as a noninvasive technique for long-term follow-up of treated intracranial saccular aneurysms. This te chnical note describes a color Doppler artifact related to microcoil archit ecture that might represent a potential pitfall in transcranial Doppler son ographic evaluation of aneurysmal cavity thrombosis, since it may be wrongl y interpreted as residual flow or aneurysmal cavity recanalization.
