Monitoring of Increased Intracranial Pressure Resulting From Cerebral Edema With Transcranial Doppler Sonography in Patients With Middle Cerebral Artery Infarction

Abstract

Transcranial Doppler sonography enables noninvasive monitoring of raised intracranial pressure in patients with large infarctions. It also provides information for detecting cerebral herniation and deciding on the medical or surgical therapy.
