Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography in tuberculous meningitis: A systematic review.

A considerable proportion of patients with TB meningitis develop cerebral hemodynamic disturbances which lead to cerebral ischemia and affect clinical outcomes. TCD is a reliable tool for the diagnosis of vasculopathy and increased intracranial pressure and can thus help monitor disease progression and treatment response. Future studies with larger populations and longer follow-ups are recommended to determine the association of TCD findings with functional outcomes.
