[Doppler ultrasonography in children with sequelae of acute neuroinfections].

Transcranial dopplerography was performed in 125 children with late (1-3 years) neurologic sequelae of acute neuroinfections. Decreased blood flow velocity (BFV) in middle cerebral arteries of (0.61 of the value in control group) was found in patients with movement disorders. Impairment of the intracranial venous outflow together with both acceleration and asymmetry of blood flow in basal veins was prevalent in children with intracranial hypertension and hydrocephaly syndrome. Hyperconstriction of cerebral vessels together with a low BFV (30% of the initial value) was observed during hyperventilation on the side of the lesion in patients with epileptic syndrome. In children with cerebrasthenic syndrome the effect of cavinton treatment depended on the type of changes in cerebral blood flow: positive effect was found in patients with asymmetric decrease of BFV in anterior cerebral arteries.
