What You Will Learn!
- learning the detailed anatomy of neonatal brain
- learning vascular anatomy of brain using doppler study
- learning Ischemic insults of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy
- Learning brain hemorrhage
Description
The clinical importance of TCDI because the functional results is superior to the more phenomenological imaging results of cranial computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
TCDI provides a
• bedside
• low cost
• fast imaging modality in many critical pediatric diseases as brain edema, stroke, cerebral vasculitis and vascular stenosis.
12 main sections to cover cranial ultrasound modality , many real time cases are selected
Physical and Technical Principles of ultrasound and Doppler Sonography
Detailed real time anatomy , technique , brain Biometry and developmental anatomy
Guidelines and checklist for cranial sonography with related reporting system
Hypoxic Ischemic encephalopathy - Leukomalacia - Brain death - Sudden Infant death
Intracranial Hemorrhage
scalp lesions
Pericerebral fluid collection and hydrocephalus
Brain Infection - Meningoencephalitis

RI
0.65-0.85 in the neonate
0.60-0.70 in the child before fontanelle closure
0.50-0.60 in older children and adults through temporal window after fontanelle closure.
Severe head trauma is a major cause of hospitalization and brain injury in childhood.
Cranial MRI is the best method to investigate the more complex brain injury patterns as axonal injury and cortical sheering.
cranial CT is initially indicated to recognise bleeding; it has no prognostic value and is not suitable for therapy monitoring
Transcranial doppler best method to recognize secondary brain oedema and to control therapy.
very good prediction of the outcome. recommend to be done at least daily in children with severe head trauma.
