"Tail sign" associated with microembolic signals.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) can detect circulating microembolic signals (MES). We focused our attention on tail signs (TS), a signal associated with MES that appeared as a small reversal signal after MES on the high time resolution spectral display. We examined MES and artifacts in an animal study to determine whether TS were specific changes associated with MES...
متن کاملAccidental microembolic signals: prevalence and clinical relevance
Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the occurrence of accidental microembolic signals (MES) and its clinical relevance in patients receiving routine transcranial Doppler (TCD) examinations. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed our institutional TCD database (from January 2007–November 2012). The arteries with positive MES, the presumed sources of emboli and the clinical backgro...
متن کاملDoppler Microembolic Signals in Behcet\'s Disease with Nervous System Involvement
Background: Behçet’s disease (BD) is a multisystemic inflammatory vasculitis of unknown etiology, and vasculitis being its major pathological feature. Objectives: We studied the prevalence of microembolic signals (MES) in patients with diagnosis Behçet's disease. We also tried to determine the frequency of MES in BD patients with or without neurological involvement. Mater...
متن کاملThe dural tail sign revisited.
The “dural tail sign” was described by Wilms and colleagues as a thin, tapering rim of dural enhancement, in continuity with a convexity meningioma on gadopentetate dimeglumine– enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) (1). Goldsher and associates subsequently, in 1990, demonstrated the dural tail sign in 60% of their series of meningiomas and concluded that its presence, associated with an extraaxial ...
متن کاملStatin Pretreatment and Microembolic Signals in Large Artery Atherosclerosis.
OBJECTIVE Although statin pretreatment (SP) is associated with better outcomes in patients with acute cerebral ischemia after an ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack, data on the underlying mechanism of this beneficial effect are limited. APPROACH AND RESULTS We sought to evaluate the potential association between SP and microembolic signal (MES) burden in acute cerebral ischemia because...
