Embolic stroke by compression maneuver during transcranial Doppler sonography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Embolic complications during ultrasound examinations are a rare cause of neurological deficits. The present case documents the occurrence of embolism by a nonobstructive compression maneuver during transcranial Doppler examination, resulting in a minor stroke. CASE DESCRIPTION A 63-year-old man suffered from recurrent transient ischemic attacks. Duplex sonography showed...
متن کاملTranscranial Doppler: preventing stroke during carotid endarterectomy.
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is more effective at preventing strokes than medical therapy alone in those patients with severe symptomatic stenosis of the internal carotid artery and this benefit persists despite a perioperative stroke/death rate of approximately 5%. Thromboembolism has been established as the underlying cause of the majority of perioperative strokes, but this could not be detec...
متن کاملDetection and volume estimation of embolic air in the middle cerebral artery using transcranial Doppler sonography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral embolism has been implicated in the development of cognitive and neurological deficits following bypass surgery. This study proposes methodology for estimating cerebral air embolus volume using transcranial Doppler sonography. METHODS Transcranial Doppler audio signals of air bubbles in the middle cerebral artery obtained from in vivo experiments were subjected...

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 ...
متن کاملTranscranial Doppler sonography in fulminant hepatic failure.
UNLABELLED The clinical course of patients with fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) is often worsened by the presence of cerebral edema and endocranial hypertension. In spite of the multiple studies using Transcranial Doppler Sonography (TCDS), few have shown the cerebral blood flow (CBF) pattern among patients with encephalopathy resulting from FHF. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to characterize th...
