A-Scan Echoencephalography
2024Co-Authors: White D. NaldrettAbstract:The technique of A-scan Echoencephalography is criticized in so far as it lacks objectivity and reproducibility. In the author's laboratory, the M-echo, being of higher amplitude than other intracranial echoes, is distinguished from other echoes by an averaging technique—a time exposure. Double transmission pulses indicate the theoretical position of echoes from the true mid-line and superimposition of far-side echoes ensures that the transducers are correctly aligned

A Standardized Procedure for Echoencephalography and for Analyzing Echoencephalograms
2024Co-Authors: Brown R. E.Abstract:Although Echoencephalography is a simple, convenient and atraumatic diagnostic technique, the accuracy and reliability of this test and whether it is reproducible can be greatly influenced by the way in which the examination is performed and subsequently analyzed. Echoencephalography in 850 patients has led to the development of a standardized technique which takes into account the positioning of the patient, the application of the transducer, the identification of the midline-echo-complex, and the elimination of observer bias. Once performed the test must meet rigid standards of acceptability. If acceptable the test is analyzed according to an established format

guideline for management and treatment of fetal and congenital hydrocephalus center of excellence fetal and congenital hydrocephalus top 10 japan guideline 2011
Childs Nervous System, 2011Co-Authors: Takayuki Inagaki, Masaki Shinoda, Satoshi Takahashi, Shigeki Ono, Isao Date, Sadahiro Nomura, Tomoru Miwa, Takashi Araki, Susumu Ito, Hisaaki UchikadoAbstract:Introduction Hydrocephalus does not indicate a single clinical entity, but includes a variety of clinicopathological conditions caused by excessive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) based on the disturbed circulation. Recent progress in prenatal neuroimagings such as MRI and ultrasound Echoencephalography on fetus enables to understand clinicopathological conditions of CSF circulation disorder in conjunction with morphological changes in the central nervous system properly. It has been revealed that the CSF dynamics develop in the theory of evolution from the immature brain, as in the animals with the minor CSF pathway predominance, towards matured adult human brain together with the completion of the major CSF pathway: the “Evolution Theory in CSF Dynamics”. Now, we can analyze CSF circulation dynamically and also analyze the flow velocity and direction of CSF movement.

The Routine Use of Echoencephalography in the Diagnosis of Intracranial Masses
2024Co-Authors: Lee R. G., Morley T. P.Abstract:Ultrasonic echoes can be detected from interfaces within the body. This principle has been applied to the examination of the cranial contents by the procedure of Echoencephalography. The presence of a unilateral intracranial mass was correctly predicted by this technique in 30 out of 33 cases. The method of examination is simple, harmless, painless and rapid. Its general adoption as an aid in diagnosis of intracranial lesions, particularly in acute head injuries, is recommended

Intracranial neoplasia in dogs: a diagnostic approach
'Universidade de Sao Paulo Agencia USP de Gestao da Informacao Academica (AGUIA)', 2008Co-Authors: Diniz, Sylvia De AlmeidaAbstract:As enfermidades neurológicas, notadamente os tumores intracranianos, têm grande importância dentre os quadros mórbidos que acometem animais da espécie canina, principalmente em cães com mais de 5 anos de idade, com uma idade média de 9 anos. Os objetivos do presente estudo foram: avaliar os casos clínicos com suspeita de neoplasia, compilar os dados clínicos e exames complementares e relacioná-los com os achados anátomo-patológicos. Os tumores foram descritos quanto ao aspecto macro e microscópicos, elaborando-se o diagnóstico do neoplasma. Foram empregadas técnicas de imunoístoquímica para complementação das descrições de tais neoplasmas visando estabelecer comparação entre os aspectos morfológicos encontrados na espécie humana. Utilizou-se 14 cães com diagnósticos de tumores intracranianos, que foram avaliados através do exame físico geral e neurológico associado a exames de imagem (tomografia computadorizada, ressonância magnética, ecoencefalografia) e/ou eletrodiagóstico através de um eletroencéfalografo digital com mapeamento cerebral. A sintomatologia depende da localização do tumor, agressividade tumoral, tipo de formação e severidade da lesão associada. Subdividiram-se os cães em 4 grupos de acordo com a sintomatologia: grupo I (cães com alterações cerebrais); grupo II (cães com alterações cerebelares); grupo III (cães com alterações em tronco encefálico); grupo IV (cães com alteração mista). Os achados mais freqüentes nos animais acometidos foram: convulsões, alteração de comportamento, andar compulsivo, andar em círculos, progressão obstinada, déficits proprioceptivos e/ou motores e déficits vestibulares. A confirmação diagnóstica, caracterização histopatológica e classificação das neoplasias foram realizadas através de biopsia ou necropsia dos animais eutanasiados ou que vieram a óbito espontaneamente.Neurological disorders, namely intracranial tumors, have a great importance among morbid entities in dogs, manly in animals older then five years, with a mean of age ranging nine years old. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical cases suspected of having neoplasia and to associate ancillary clinical exams with necropsy findings. Tumors were described macro and microscopically, and a histopathological diagnosis was determinated. Immunohistochemical methods were applied to ensure the diagnosis and to compare with morphological data available in human counterparts. A number of 14 dogs with intracranial tumor were used, from this cases compilation of general physical examination, neurological evaluation, and associated image diagnosis (computerized tomography, magnetic resonance and Echoencephalography) and/or eletrodiagnois by means of a digital electroencephalographic mapping of brain. The symptoms depend on tumor localization, tumor behavior - aggressivety, type of tumor and severity of associated lesions. Four groups were subdivided according to the symptoms: group I (dogs with brain alterations); group II (dogs with cerebellar alterations); group III (dogs with brain steam alterations) and group IV (dogs with mixt alterations). The most frequent findings in diseased animals were seizures, behavior alterations, compulsive walking, circling, obstinate progression, propioceptive and/or motor deficit and vestibular deficit. The diagnosis confirmation, histopathological characterization and classification of neoplasias were made by biopsy or necropsy of euthanatized or naturally dead animals
