Intracranial Thrombosis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Utility of Modern Ultrasound Techniques in the Evaluation of Cerebral Venous Sinuses in Neonates
Our overall aim is to examine if ultrasound is as accurate as MRI and/or CT in the evaluation of dural venous sinuses. We hypothesize that sonography will be accurate (accuracy >80%) for diagnosing specific anatomic findings of dural venous sinuses.
Cranial ultrasound is an established technique for evaluation of the neonatal brain. However
its role in the evaluation of cerebral dural venous sinuses in neonates has not been
established. It is very important to evaluate the cerebral dural venous sinuses, as cerebral
sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT) is an increasingly recognized condition in neonates.
There is an obvious clinical need for systematically evaluating the role of ultrasound with
doppler in the evaluation of cerebral venous sinuses. Advances in diagnostic imaging have
led to rapid clinical implementation of newer technologies like MR and CT for evaluation of
venous sinuses. However technological advances in older imaging methods like ultrasound
which have advantages of being non-invasive and being performed at the bedside have not been
evaluated.
