Transcranial pulsed Doppler ultrasound findings in brain stem death.
Data are presented from transcranial insonation of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) performed at intervals in 23 unconscious children for whom the outcome was subsequently poor. Once an MCA signal had been observed over a 30 minute period with time averaged velocity less than 10 cm s-1 and/or a direction of flow index, DFI, defined as 1 minus the ratio of reverse to forward flow of less than 0....
متن کاملBenefit of echocontrast-enhanced transcranial color-coded duplex ultrasound in the assessment of intracranial collateral pathways.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although clinically important, proper assessment of intracranial arterial collateral pathways by transcranial color-coded duplex sonography (TCCD) in patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) high-grade stenosis or occlusion is occasionally made difficult by an insufficient temporal bone window, an unfavorable insonation angle, or low flow velocity or volume. In these c...
متن کاملFrontal bone windows for transcranial color-coded duplex sonography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The use of the conventional temporal bone window for transcranial color-coded duplex sonography (TCCS) often results in difficulties in obtaining angle-corrected flow velocity measurements of the A2 segment of the anterior cerebral artery, the posterior communicating artery, and the midline venous vasculature because of the unfavorable insonation angle. The same applies t...
متن کاملContrast-enhanced transcranial color-coded sonography in acute hemispheric brain infarction.
PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to investigate the diagnostic potential of contrast-enhanced transcranial color-coded real-time sonography (CE-TCCS) in otherwise ultrasound-refractory acute stroke patients with an ischemia in the territory of the middle cerebral artery (MCA). Furthermore, correlations of CE-TCCS findings with clinical, angiographic, and CT results were investigated. ...
متن کاملTranscranial color-coded duplex sonography in cerebral aneurysms.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diagnosis and successful therapy before rupture of cerebral aneurysms would be most desirable in view of the high mortality and morbidity rates of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Using transcranial color-coded duplex sonography, we studied radiologically proven cerebral aneurysms to define ultrasonographic criteria and sensitivity for their diagnosis and detection. ...
