A simple test to assess cerebrovascular reserve capacity using transcranial Doppler sonography and acetazolamide.
The goal of this study was the development of a simple bedside test to assess cerebrovascular reserve capacity using transcranial Doppler sonography. We studied 33 normal persons at rest and after stimulation of cerebral blood flow with 1 g acetazolamide. Their mean +/- SD increase in blood flow velocity in 54 middle cerebral arteries 10 minutes after stimulation was 24.4 +/- 9.2 cm/sec. We tri...
متن کاملEvaluation of cerebral vasoreactivity by SPECT and transcranial Doppler sonography using the acetazolamide test.
rCBF SPECT with 99mTc-HMPAO was performed prospectively in 29 patients (3 controls and 26 stroke patients) as well as TCD studies in 20 patients (3 controls and 17 stroke patients) before and after 1 g i.v. acetazolamide. The sensitivity of rCBF SPECT increased from 62% to 77% after acetazolamide provocation in stroke patients. In patients with a reversible neurological deficit, the sensitivity...
متن کاملEvaluation of cerebrovascular reserve capacity in symptomatic and asymptomatic internal carotid stenosis with transcranial Doppler.
Cerebrovascular reserve capacity (CVRC) is a hemodynamic parameter indicating the brain's capacity to overcome ischemia. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is a useful device to measure CVRC, with high availability and low cost. The aim of the study is to investigate asymptomatic patients with affected CVRC, who could benefit from CEA. One hundred and forty five consecutive patients (60 symptomatic and...

rely on indirect evidence of nodal metastases. These include nodal enlargement, three or more borderline–sized nodes in a primary drainage pathway, and a nodal morphology showing a change from an elliptical to a spherical shape. The development of accurate radiologic criteria is important since 25% or more of patients presenting with head and neck cancer and no clinically palpable neck disease ...
