Carotid bruit and thrill in pediatric patients can indicate underlying vascular abnormalities, such as arteriovenous malformations or atherosclerosis, which may lead to significant complications like stroke or transient ischemic attacks. These findings suggest turbulent blood flow, potentially signaling an increased risk of cardiovascular events. Early identification and evaluation are crucial to prevent serious outcomes and to implement appropriate management strategies. Regular monitoring and follow-up are essential for affected children.
Yes. My 9 year old daughter was diagnosed with a carotid bruit & thrill one year ago.
"bruit" is the sound on auscultation, "thrill" is the feel on palpation.
A swishing or bruit sound heard over the carotid is an indication of turbulence in the carotid circulation. The turbulence may be caused by arterial stenosis (narrowing). It is not possible to predict the amount of stenosis present. An ultrasound of the carotid will provide that information
An examiner may hear a carotid bruit in the neck if the carotids are blocked with plaque.

bruit
A bruit is something that can be heard with a stethoscope over an artery, that indicated turbulent blood flow. In a normal artery, blood flows smoothly (laminar flow) but if there is an obstruction e.g. a clot or fatty plaque (atherosclerosis) the blood flow is disturbed and bounces off the sides of the artery walls, causing the bruit to be heard. It sounds like a rushing or roaring sound.
Yes...I went to the Dr. complaining that I heard my own heartbeat 24/7. He did an exam using a stethascope on my neck and heard the "whooshing"sound. I now have to go to the hospitol for an ulstrasound.

He is both a bully and a bruit who would rather punch you in the face than engage in a civil conversation.
