Transcranial color-coded sonography for vertebrobasilar disorders in end-stage renal disease
چکیده انگلیسی
Because vertebrobasilar arterial disorders seem to be common in patients with end-stage renal disease, a neuroradiological evaluation of vertebrobasilar circulation is necessary for patients with possible vertebrobasilar insufficiency. In three patients on maintenance hemodialysis, contrast-enhanced transcranial color-coded real-time sonography (TCCS) through a suboccipital window delineated occlusion of bilateral vertebral arteries with reversal of the basilar artery, reversal of the left vertebral artery mimicking left subclavian steal phenomenon, and dolichoectasia of the basilar artery and bilateral vertebral arteries with signals of turbulent flow. TCCS has several advantages over computed tomographic angiography and magnetic resonance angiography, including the direction of blood flow, handy performance even during hemodialysis, and contrast agent free from nephrotoxicity. Thus, TCCS is useful in the evaluation of intracranial circulation in patients with end-stage renal disease.
