The authors report on their early results in the ultrasound (US) follow-up of postoperative brain pathology, both supra- and infratentorial. The use of US is dependent on the presence of an acoustic window in the skull after craniotomy. Five patients were investigated via a suboccipital craniotomy and one patient via a temporal skull defect. In the patients with a suboccipital craniotomy the greatest part of the posterior fossa, the 3rd and lateral ventricle could be made visible. In a patient with a temporal craniotomy the involved parts of the brain were demonstrated satisfactorily. If a skull defect persists after surgery US may be of value in the follow-up of postoperative conditions, such as the assessment of tumour residue or recurrence, hydrocephalus, postoperative complications and response to radio- or chemotherapy.
作者报告了他们在幕上和幕下术后脑病理超声（US）随访方面的早期结果。超声的使用取决于开颅术后颅骨中是否存在声窗。5例患者通过枕下开颅进行检查，1例患者通过颞部颅骨缺损进行检查。在枕下开颅的患者中，后颅窝的大部分、第三脑室和侧脑室都可以看到。在1例颞部开颅的患者中，受累的脑区得到了满意的显示。如果术后颅骨缺损持续存在，超声在术后情况的随访中可能有价值，例如评估肿瘤残留或复发、脑积水、术后并发症以及对放疗或化疗的反应。
