Abstract

We present a case which demonstrates the use of transcranial colour Doppler (TCCD) sonography in screening for an underlying arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in a middle-aged hypertensive patient with a spontaneous thalamic haematoma. The AVM was not detected on emergency CT but its presence, site and shape were demonstrated by TCCD, in the presence of a massive cerebral haemorrhage and acute intracranial hypertension.
