Transcranial 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...

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 کاملDiagnosis of brain death by transcranial Doppler sonography
The blood flow velocities in the basal cerebral arteries can be recorded at any age by transcranial Doppler sonography. We examined nine children with either initial or developing clinical signs of brain death. Soon after successful resuscitation increased diastolic flow velocities indicated a probable decrease in cerebrovascular resistance; this was of no particular prognostic importance. As s...
متن کاملDiagnosis of brain death by transcranial Doppler sonography.
Delays in diagnosis of brain death have definite consequences for the organ retrieval and transplantation process. It is advisable to use accurate diagnostic methods. Transcranial Doppler sonography is a well-accepted technique for diagnosing cerebral circulatory arrest. However, in some cases, the access to the intracranial circulation via the temporal window is difficult. In 43 brain-dead pat...
