Case report
A case of a 43-year-old male with severe pancreatitis complicated with neurological deterioration is presented.
Methods and result
Different neurosonological examinations using transcranial color coded duplex sonography (TCCS) were combined to obtain a certain diagnosis.
Conclusion
This case illustrates some of the applications of TCCS at bedside in ICU patients. These sonographic explorations are useful in the monitoring of ICU patients, and may avoid hazardous transfers to the radiology department for the patient.
