Transcranial 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 in movement disorders.
BACKGROUND Transcranial sonography (TCS) in the B-mode has the ability to image, infratentorial and supratentorial brain structures. For this reason, it has potential use in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of various intracranial pathologies. METHODS AND RESULTS The authors reviewed the contribution of TCS to the differentiation of a number of neurodegenerative diseases: in parkinson...
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 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...
متن کاملContrast-enhanced transcranial Doppler sonography in patients with acute cerebrovascular diseases.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic potential of galactose-based microbubble suspension (Levovist) in patients with acute cerebrovascular disease and inadequate transtemporal acoustic window, when examined by transcranial Doppler (TCD). We studied 10 patients with either transient ischemic attack (no. = 3) or stroke (no. = 7). Inadequate transtemporal acoustic window was unilate...
