“…Both TCCD and TCD could record the velocity and pulsatility parameters of intracranial vessels, and identify the hemodynamic changes induced by bAVMs ( 37 ). TCCD was proposed as a valuable non-invasive, harmless, low-cost, widely available method for the detection and follow-up of hemodynamic changes of AVMs, especially for pediatrics ( 38 ). However, the effect of TCCD in neurological functional assessment has never been reported.…”

Aim: The aim of this guideline is to present current and comprehensive recommendations for the management of brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs) located in eloquent areas.Methods: An extended literature search on MEDLINE was performed between Jan 1970 and May 2020. Eloquence-related literature was further screened and interpreted in different subcategories of this guideline. The writing group discussed narrative text and recommendations through group meetings and online video conferences. Recommendations followed the Applying Classification of Recommendations and Level of Evidence proposed by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. Prerelease review of the draft guideline was performed by four expert peer reviewers and by the members of Chinese Stroke Association.Results: In total, 809 out of 2,493 publications were identified to be related to eloquent structure or neurological functions of bAVMs. Three-hundred and forty-one publications were comprehensively interpreted and cited by this guideline. Evidence-based guidelines were presented for the clinical evaluation and treatment of bAVMs with eloquence involved. Topics focused on neuroanatomy of activated eloquent structure, functional neuroimaging, neurological assessment, indication, and recommendations of different therapeutic managements. Fifty-nine recommendations were summarized, including 20 in Class I, 30 in Class IIa, 9 in Class IIb, and 2 in Class III.Conclusions: The management of eloquent bAVMs remains challenging. With the evolutionary understanding of eloquent areas, the guideline highlights the assessment of eloquent bAVMs, and a strategy for decision-making in the management of eloquent bAVMs.

“…At present, the disability rate and mortality rate of cerebrovascular diseases are relatively high [ 1 – 3 ]. Safe and effective diagnosis of intracranial vascular lesions in patients and targeted intervention measures are of great significance for delaying the disease course and the progression of the patient’s disease [ 4 – 6 ]. Transcranial color-coded duplex ultrasonography (TCCD), which can be very successful in identifying the intracranial arteries in older people, can intuitively show the intracranial vascular structure and blood flow status in real time, providing more comprehensive and accurate intracranial hemodynamic information [ 7 , 8 ].…”

Background Transcranial color-coded duplex ultrasonography (TCCD) is an important diagnostic tool in the investigation of cerebrovascular diseases. TCCD is often hampered by the temporal window that ultrasound cannot penetrate. Rapidly determine whether ultrasound can penetrate the temporal window in order to determine whether to use other acoustic windows to complete the examination process. In this study, Skull thickness can be measured simultaneously during TCCD examination, which makes it possible to use skull thickness to rapidly determine whether the temporal window is penetrated by ultrasound. Methods This retrospective study included 301 patients with clinical symptoms of cerebrovascular diseases. These 301 patients were divided into an impenetrable temporal window (ITW) group and a penetrable temporal window group according to the results of the TCCD examination. Results The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) for skull thickness was 0.887 (cutoff value 1.045 cm). Following multivariate logistic regression, sex, age, and skull thickness were used to develop a nomogram. The AUC for the nomogram was 0.923 (cutoff value 0.407). Conclusions The skull thickness at the temporal window was measured by ultrasound, which was convenient and accurate. The probability of ITW in females was higher than that in males, and it increased with age. In this study, a prediction model incorporating sex, age and skull thickness could predict ITW probability well. If the patient’s temporal window was rapidly predicted as an ITW, other acoustic window examinations were used to complete the TCCD examination process to optimize the TCCD examination process of cerebrovascular diseases and facilitate the popularization of TCCD in clinical application.
