Rapid detection of recurrent intraventricular hemorrhage by ultrasound in a multiple trauma patient who had undergone craniectomy

Abstract

Ultrasound may be a useful tool to evaluate intracranial abnormalities in critically ill patients undergoing decompressive craniectomy. We present a multiple trauma patient who had undergone craniectomy and in whom recurrent intraventricular hemorrhage and patterns of cerebral blood flow were rapidly detected by ultrasound. © 2012 BioMed Central Ltd.
