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.

What is a 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.
