Lecture Abstract:
In acute stroke and neurocritical care, increased intracranial pressure (IICP) leading to midline shift (MLS) and brain herniation is a life-threatening emergency. While computed tomography (CT) remains the diagnostic gold standard, transporting critically ill patients carries significant risks. Transcranial color-coded duplex sonography (TCCD) offers a safe, non-invasive, and repeatable bedside tool for real-time neuromonitoring.
This lecture focuses on the standardized techniques and clinical applications of transcranial ultrasound in evaluating MLS and brain herniation. We will demonstrate how to identify the third ventricle via the transtemporal window to accurately calculate midline shift, highlighting its strong correlation with cranial CT findings. Furthermore, we will discuss advanced sonographic indicators of impending brain herniation and IICP.
