title: [Brain circulation in residual cerebral damage. A Doppler ultrasound study].
abstract: Transcranial Doppler recordings of flow velocities in 5 cerebral arteries were performed in children with cerebral palsy or with focal epileptic discharges. In 22 children with severe bilateral cerebral palsy as an average the flow velocities were 55% of the norm. In 8 of 10 children with spastic hemiplegia, the velocities were reduced at least in one artery of the affected side. 7 of 11 children with a mixed focus and 4 of 18 children with a pure epileptic focus in the EEG presented reduced velocities within the artery belonging to the focus. The results and other studies indicate a reduced cerebral blood flow in severe cerebral palsy with may be caused by vascular, metabolic, bioelectric or pharmacologic factors.
