Routine cranial ultrasonography, using the anterior fontanelle as acoustic window enables visualization of the supratentorial brain structures in neonates and young infants. The mastoid fontanelle enables a better view of the infratentorial structures, especially cerebellar hemorrhage in preterm infants. Reports on the usefulness and reliability of cranial ultrasonography using the mastoid font...

Background Carotid artery stiffness is associated with cognitive impairment and dementia, however, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. We examined association of carotid cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) markers, impairment, dementia its subtypes, as well performance. Method In this case-control study, 272 subjects from a memory clinic underwent physical medical evaluation along ultras...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to correlate amplitude-integrated electroencephalography findings with early outcomes, measured by mortality and neuroimaging findings, in a prospective cohort of infants at high risk for brain injury in this center in Brazil. METHODS This blinded prospective cohort study evaluated 23 preterm infants below 31 weeks of gestational age and 17 infants diagnosed with hy...

Objective: The clinical signs and symptoms of brain edema resulting from diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) may not always be ob vious. When the intracranial pressure increases, optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) simultaneously increases can imaged with ultrasonography. We aimed to discuss determinative features ONSD measurements in (BE) DKA. Materials Methods: Patients who were classified as having m...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Holoprosencephaly is a rare developmental brain abnormality with a range of severity. We describe our experience in diagnosing holoprosencephaly in the fetus with in utero MR imaging. We hypothesized that including in utero MR imaging in the diagnostic pathway will improve the detection of holoprosencephaly compared with ultrasonography and allow better assessment of the ...

introduction and aims: prior investigators have proposed microlithiasis as a causative factor for occult gallbladder diseases. endoscopic ultrasonography (eus) is potentially far more sensitive than transabdominal ultrasonography (tus) in visualizing small stones. the aim of this study was to investigate the role of endoscopic ultrasounography (eus) in the diagnosis of microlithiasis in patient...
