Ultrasonography through the craniectomy in the diagnosis of brain abscess.
Issac CheongPublished in: Journal of clinical ultrasound : JCU (2022)
Brain abscess is a focal area of necrosis, which may occur after neurosurgical procedures. Transcranial color-coded duplex sonography (TCCS) is a valuable tool of monitoring in the intensive care unit (ICU), providing information in B-mode, color and pulsed wave Doppler mode. We describe the case of a critically ill patient with brain abscess diagnosed by TCCS.
