Utilidad del ultrasonido transcraneal en Neurología y Neuropsiquiatría

Thickness changes of the mesencephalic tegmentum (interpeduncular angle, smaller or greater than 60°), thalamus and striatum increased echogenicity, and the third ventricle dilation (greater than 5 mm), are other possible findings. These are used to corroborate the diagnosis, classification, treatment and monitoring of different pathologies, like Parkinson's disease, supranuclear progressive palsy, dystonias, cortico-basal degeneration, schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, and autism.
