Optimal Site

While ultrasonography is widely performed prior to biopsy, colour Doppler examination is often used only to discover post-biopsy complications. Aim of this paper was to evaluate the usefulness of colour Doppler examination in planning the optimal site of puncture for renal biopsy. Present analysis includes 561 consecutive percutaneous renal biopsies performed from the same operator. Until August 2000 332 biopsies were performed after a preliminary ultrasonography (Group A). From September 2000, 229 patients underwent even a preliminary colour Doppler study (Group B). Postbioptic bleeding were categorized as minor (gross hematuria or subcapsular perinephric hematoma < 4 cmq of greater diameter) or major (hematoma >4 cmq of greater diameter; requiring blood transfusion or invasive procedures; leading to acute renal failure, urine tract obstruction, septicaemia, or death). Major complications were seen in 2.1% in Group A while in Group B only one case was reported (0.43%). Minor clinically significant complications occur in 7.8% in Group A and in 3.4% of cases of Group B. Colour Doppler reduced drastically the incidence of complications observed before the introduction of routine colour Doppler examination prior to biopsy. In our opinion, these data support the use of preliminary colour Doppler study when a biopsy is planned.

Pictorial Essay

Classically fetal heart evaluation is mandatory in the second trimester of pregnancy. Recent data suggest that the diagnosis of congenital heart disease is feasible in the first trimester (FT) of pregnancy, especially for trained examiners. In this pictorial essay we aim to illustrate in detail the particularity of the FT heart evaluation: the specific ultrasound techniques including practical tips for the basic and extended first trimester fetal heart evaluation protocol. The diagnosis is possible by the use of a variety of ultrasound techniques (B mode, CFM, Bidirectional Doppler, STIC, TUI) using the transabdominal/transvaginal probes. An abnormal FT heart scan requires second trimester reassessment. Unfortunately, not all cardiac disease can be potentially diagnosed in the first trimester. Based on their own experience the authors recommend that heart examination in the FT should be attempted in all fetuses, even in low risk pregnancies, using at least the basic Doppler examination protocol.

Introduction: Colour Doppler sonography is a well-established widely available,noninvasive, cost effective and a reliable method for assessing cerebrovascular circulation.It has become a valuable completion of the sonographic workup in patients with cerebralischaemia and infarction. Its accuracy is close to angiography. Objectives: To determine thefrequency of significant carotid artery stenosis in patients of cerebral ischaemia/stroke and itscharacterized sonographic appearance of plaque. Study Design: Cross sectional study, basedon nonprobability convenience sample technique. Setting: Department of Radiology, CombinedMilitary Hospital Lahore, using Colour and Power Doppler Ultrasound machine ALOKA SSD-5500. Period: 14 October 2006 to 15 March 2007. Methodology: Total of 50 diagnosed patientsof either gender, aged 30 to 70 years with cerebral ischaemia and stroke were included in thestudy. Carotid Doppler examination was conducted in each patient and findings were recorded.Results: Among 50 patients who underwent carotid Doppler examination for diagnosis ofclinically significant carotid artery stenosis, 35 patients had carotid plaques. 08 patients werediagnosed to have more than 70 % stenosis, 07 patients with more than 50 % and 20 patientsless than 50 % carotid artery stenosis. 15 patients did not show any carotid artery disease.12 patients had bilateral stenosis while 23 had unilateral disease. Mean age of the patientswith and without carotid artery disease was 52 ± 7.87 years. Conclusion: Majority of patientswith Cerebral ischemia/stroke showed carotid artery stenosis on colour Doppler ultrasound.Common age group who developed cerebral ischemia/stroke was above 50years.

Bilateral Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Objectives: We report a case of bilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) in a patient suffering from chronic venous cerebrospinal insufficiency (CCSVI). Methods: Audiometric testing confirmed bilateral sensorineural hearing loss with hypoexcitability to caloric stimulation on the left side and echo-colour Doppler examination showed abnormal cerebral venous deficiency. Results: The patient's condition improved after 15 days following medical treatment. Conclusions: CCSVI may explain the anatomical background which provides a predisposing factor for SSHL although further studies are needed to verify whether this observation is casual or coincidental.
