| Core Tip |
Non-invasive Doppler ultrasonographic study of cerebral arteries [transcranial Doppler (TCD)] has been extensively applied on both outpatient and inpatient settings. Nowadays the most widespread indication for TCD in outpatient setting is the research of right to left shunting, responsable of so called “paradoxical embolism”, most often due to a patency of foramen ovale which is responsable of the majority of cases of cryptogenic stroke occuring in patients younger than 55 years old. In addition TCD has found many useful applications in neurocritical care practice. It is useful on both adults and children for day-to-day bedside assess-ment of critical conditions including vasospasm in acute subarachnoid hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, brain stem death. |
