Transcranial sonography for diagnosis of Parkinson's disease
BACKGROUND In idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) transcranial sonography (TCS) represents an alternative diagnostic method to verify clinical diagnosis. Although the phenomenon of an increased echogenicity of the Substantia nigra (SN) is well known this method is still not widly used in the diagnostic workup. Until now reliability of this method is still a matter of debate, partly because dat...

متن کاملTranscranial sonography as early indicator for genetic Parkinson’s disease
Early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is of immense importance, since clinical symptoms do not occur until substantial parts of the brain stem have been irreparably damaged. Recent work suggests that by means of transcranial sonography (TCS) it is possible to determine the formation of monogenic forms of parkinsonism at a very early state. In TCS images, the mesencephalon shows a distinct...
متن کامل[Transcranial sonography in Parkinson's disease].
An abnormal hyperechogenecity of substantia nigra is thought to be the most characteristic sonographic feature in Parkinson's disease (PD). However specificity and sensitivity of the ultrasound method should be refined. Using transcranial sonography, authors have examined 168 patients with different clinical signs of parkinsonism, including 99 patients with idiopathic PD, and 56 patients withou...
