OBJECTIVE We wanted to evaluate the clinical value of intraoperative ultrasonography for real-time guidance when performing microneurosurgical resection of small subcortical lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-two patients with small subcortical lesions were involved in this study. The pathological diagnoses were cavernous hemangioma in 25 cases, cerebral glioma in eight cases, abscess in ei...

After the drainage of chronic subdural hematomas (CSDHs), residual isolated deep-seated hematomas (IDHs) may recur. We introduce intraoperative ultrasonography to detect and remove such IDHs. Intraoperative ultrasonography is performed with fine transducers introduced via burr holes. Images obtained before dural opening show the CSDHs, hyper- and/or hypoechoic content, and mono- or multilayers....

Ultrasonography is a safe, rapid, and non-invasive diagnostic tool that has been previously used for imaging infants and canine neonatal brains. The purpose of the present study was to describe the ultrasonographic appearance of the brain in clinically normal caprine neonates. Ultrasonographic examination was done on 12 day-old goat kids, transverse and sagittal transcranial scans were obtained...

Background: A sacral parasitic twin is a variant of conjoined twins in which one incomplete.
 Case: female newborn was delivered by cesarean section. Reported inconclusive obstetrical ultrasonography at the first trimester where pregnancy initially diagnosed dizygotic and second third monozygotic. The neonate born with mass sacrococcygeal region, excised 24 days after birth. contained scal...

Introduction We describe the case of a female child with MSD who received intravenous (IV) trehalose (15 g/week) for three months. Material and methods The efficacy was evaluated by comparing serum biomarkers, quality-of-life questionnaire (HRQoL), imaging (brain MRI ultrasonography liver spleen) at weeks 0 (W0) 12 (W12). Results improvement in quality life assessments along slight decrease spl...

Abstract Background Cerebral stroke is a major source of mortality and morbidity. Duplex ultrasonography used to evaluate carotid cerebral arteries. The objectives this work are study the correlation between duplex parameters with risk factors ischemic parameter as prognostic tool stroke. Methods was conducted on 100 patients presented by acute submitted history taking, medical, neurological ex...

OBJECTIVE To review novel techniques of noninvasive brain stimulation (NBS), which may have value in assessment and treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI). METHODS Review of the following techniques: transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation, low-level laser therapy, and transcranial Doppler sonography. Furthermore, we provide a brief overview of TMS studie...

Background: Monitoring and managing elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) is one of the core topics in neurocritical care. Although invasive methods are regarded as standard means, recent development non-invasive monitoring devices help clinicians handle ICP issues without additional risks device-related complications.Current Concepts: According to Monro–Kellie hypothesis, any brain injury that ...

The evolution of severe periventricular leukomalacia was followed by ultrasonography in three newborn infants, and the subsequent myelination of the brain was assessed by nuclear magnetic resonance imaging. Four stages of periventricular leukomalacia could be identified by ultrasonography; (1) initial congestion, followed by (2) relative normalisation, (3) development of cysts, and (4) resoluti...
