[Non invasive measurement of the cerebral blood flow in infants with hydrocephalus]. / Mesure non invasive du flux sanguin cérébral chez le nourrisson hydrocéphale.

ABSTRACT

The present study was undertaken to verify by a non invasive Doppler technique the effect of ventricular dilatation on cerebral blood flow in infants with hydrocephalus. The measurement of pulsatile flow in cerebral arteries is also a valuable parameter for determination of optimal timing of corrective intervention.
