Zusammenfassung
Purpose: The cerebral blood flow velocity (CBVF) was measured by Transcranial Doppler Ultrasonography in children from 0 to 12 month in order to determine when a change in cerebral artery blood flow velocity occurred in response to light stimulation. Methods and Materials: CBVF in both middle cerebral arteries (MCA) and in both posterior cerebral arteries was recorded in 104 children from birth to 12 month (male 56; female 48). Brain development was evaluated on clinical examination. Results: After light stimulation, the CBVF in children before 4 month was decreased, when the CBVF in children older than 4 month…
