Abstract：Objective To evaluate the value of color Doppler ultrasound in the diagnosis of atherosclerosis plaques formation in carotid sinus syncope induced by eating triggers.Methods Nine patients with syncope induced by eating triggers in 2007 January to 2013 July were enrol ed.The carotid artery intima media thickness in everywhere and the characteristics of atherosclerotic plaque forma-tion were observed.Results Twthty one hard plaques were found in 9 patients in surgery,and among them,17 hard ptuques were found by the Doppler ultrasonic detection,the detection rate was 81%.The soft plaque accounted for 5(23.8%),hard plaque accoun-ted for 4(19.1%),mixed plaque account for the largest proportion,12(57.1%).Nine patients were the existence of carotid artery inti-ma media thickness and atherosclerotic formation,including 5 cases of vascular mild stenosis(55.6%),3 patients with moderate stenosis(33.3%),1 cases of severe stenosis(11.1%).Conclusion The carotid atherosclerotic plaque formation is a common clinical disease induced by eating triggers,but the clinical diagnosis and treatment of patients are rare,thickening and bilateral carotid artery intima media of carotid atherosclerotic plaque formation,local blood flow velocity are papnlar conditions.The color Doppler ultra-sound can enhance the accuracy in the clinical diagnosis.
