We present 3 cases of uncommon neuro‐vascular constraints in which ultrasound perfusion imaging (UPI) and pw‐MRI displayed according pathological findings. The results are discussed in the light of a recapitulatory review of the literature and underline the diagnostic potential of the method and the necessity of an expanded multicentre evaluation. It would be desirable to consolidate the different approaches of UPI to achieve one commonly applicable method with the aim of gaining a novel tool for prehospital stroke diagnosis.
