title: Two-dimensional ultrasonographic examination through postoperative defects in skull.
abstract: The authors describe the advantages of two-dimensional ultrasound examination in patient with skull defects of various origin. It is better to use ultrasound transducer with high frequencies, which have higher discerning capability to distinguish fine anatomic details. In comparison to CT the two-dimensional echoencephalography is harmless for the patient, it enables the monitoring of intracranial situation through an "acoustic window" and examination in several planes.
