Transcranial sonography in the evaluation of Parkinson disease.
OBJECTIVE With transcranial sonography (TS), it is possible to visualize hyperechoic signals in the sub-stantia nigra (SN) in patients with Parkinson disease (PD). Our objective was to correlate the level of echogenicity in the SN with clinical status in patients with PD. METHODS In our pilot study, using TS, we examined 15 patients with the confirmed presence of PD. Staging of the latest cli...

BACKGROUND The detection of hyperechogenicity of the substantia nigra using trans cranial sonography can be predictive of the diagnosis of Parkinson Disease. AIM To report an experience with transcranial sonography for the diagnosis of Parkinson disease. Material ana METHODS One hundred sixteen patients with movement disorders were subjected to a transcranial sonography to detect the presen...
متن کامل[Transcranial sonography in Parkinson's disease].
An abnormal hyperechogenecity of substantia nigra is thought to be the most characteristic sonographic feature in Parkinson's disease (PD). However specificity and sensitivity of the ultrasound method should be refined. Using transcranial sonography, authors have examined 168 patients with different clinical signs of parkinsonism, including 99 patients with idiopathic PD, and 56 patients withou...
متن کاملTranscranial brain parenchymal sonography in neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases.
Transcranial sonography is a highly sensitive noninvasive sonographic method for detection of early and specific echogenic changes in basal ganglia of patients with some neurodegenerative diseases. Transcranial sonography showed substantia nigra hyperechogenicity as a typical echo feature in idiopathic Parkinson disease and lenticular nucleus hyperechogenicity as a characteristic finding in aty...
متن کاملTranscranial sonography for diagnosis of Parkinson's disease
BACKGROUND In idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) transcranial sonography (TCS) represents an alternative diagnostic method to verify clinical diagnosis. Although the phenomenon of an increased echogenicity of the Substantia nigra (SN) is well known this method is still not widly used in the diagnostic workup. Until now reliability of this method is still a matter of debate, partly because dat...
