NCT00555932 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 58

Last updated 2015-05-20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

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.

Conditions

  • Intracranial Thrombosis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Ultrasound

All the studies will be performed with the portable ultrasound machine used on a regular basis in the neonatal care unit.
