Transcranial Doppler Detection of Circulating Cerebral Emboli
Background: The identification of gaseous emboli using Doppler ultrasound was described as early as the 1960s. Recently it has been demonstrated that this method can also detect solid emboli such as thrombi and platelet aggregates. This may make this technology useful in a large number of patients with, or at risk of, embolic stroke. Summary of Review: Emboli appear as short-duration, high-inte...

متن کاملTranscranial doppler detection of fat emboli.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The fat embolism syndrome (FES) is characterized by the simultaneous occurrence of pulmonary and neurological symptoms as well as skin and mucosal petechiae in the setting of long-bone fractures or their surgical repair. Its pathophysiology is poorly understood, and effective treatments are lacking. We present 5 patients with long-bone fractures in whom in vivo microembol...
متن کاملImaging Transcranial Doppler Detection of Cerebral Fat Emboli and Relation to Paradoxical Embolism A Pilot Study
Background—The fat embolism syndrome is clinically characterized by dyspnea, skin petechiae, and neurological dysfunction. It is associated mainly with long bone fracture and bone marrow fat passage to the systemic circulation. An intracardiac right-to-left shunt (RLS) could allow larger fat particles to reach the systemic circulation. Transcranial Doppler can be a useful tool to detect both RL...
