Posted at 16:04h in Emboli Detection, Intensive Care, News, Right-Left-Shunt, Stroke, Trends in Neurosonology

Once considered optional, Transcranial Doppler (TCD) has become a key diagnostic tool in evaluating right-to-left shunts in cryptogenic stroke. This article summarizes how major neurological and cardiovascular guidelines describe its value, performance, and integration into diagnostic pathways....

01 Juli 2025 Multimodal TCD Monitoring

Posted at 16:21h in Emboli Detection, Intensive Care, News, Trends in Neurosonology

In a recent case report, transcranial Doppler sonography detected bilateral cerebral air emboli during cardiac surgery—while EEG and NIRS remained unchanged. Early detection through TCD, combined with immediate surgical intervention, led to full neurological recovery. The case illustrates the critical role of multimodal neuromonitoring in...

If the coronavirus causes vascular inflammation (vasculitis), the inflammatory reaction leads to vascular narrowing with relevant cerebral blood flow velocities (CBFV) changes. An intracranial routine examination can assist in diagnosis of vasculitis by following proximal cerebral vascular abnormalities. ...
