Beside crucial role in the diagnosis of the morphological and hemodynamic changes of the cerebral vasculature, during last years, novel neurosonological methods (transcranial brain parenchyma sonography-TCS, temporal arteries ultrasonography, echosonography of the optic nerve and retrobulbar vessels) find their important place in the diagnosis of neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases, temporal arteritis, as well as optic nerve and ocular vessels changes.

Ultrasonography of the temporal arteries revealed in 70-90% of patients with a clinical suspicion of temporal arteritis, specific sonographic changes: a) circumferent hypoechogenic wall thickening-halo, b) segmental stenosis or occlusion of temporal
TCS is a highly sensitive non-invasive ultrasound method for detection of early and highly specific echogenic changes in basal ganglia of patients suffering from some neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s-, Huntington’sand Wilson’s disease, secondary parkinsonian syndromes, spinocerebellar ataxias, some forms of dystonia. Changes of the brainstem raphe echogenicity have been shown to be highly prevalent in patients with unipolaras well depression associated with certain neurodegenerative diseases. That why TCS is valuable neuroimaging method for early and differential diagnosis and follow-up of patients with neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases.

Temporal arteritis (TA), also known as giant cell or gigantocellular arteritis, is a chronic vasculitis of medium and large-sized blood vessels, in particular the main cervical branches of the aorta, with particular affinity to the temporal arteries and eye-supplying arteries.

[26] first described the edematous wall swelling of the temporal arteries, characterized sonographically as a hypoechoic or anechoic circumferential mural thickening localized around the arterial lumen, with a diameter ranging from 0.3–2.0 mm (Fig. 3).
Temporal artery biopsy is still a gold standard for diagnosis, however in recent years color duplex ultrasound examination has been proposed as a useful diagnostic screening tool in cases of TA suspicion. Schmidt et al. [26] first described the edematous wall swelling of the temporal arteries, characterized sonographically as a hypoechoic or anechoic circumferential mural thickening localized around the arterial lumen, with a diameter ranging from 0.3–2.0 mm (Fig. 3). This finding was named as the “halo sign”. Two other parameters considered relevant for the diagnosis of TA were described: stenosis and occlusion. Stenosis, characterized by a narrowing of the lumen, was defined as a segmental increase in blood flow velocity two times greater than in the region before the stenosis. Acute occlusion is revealed by the absence of color signal in a segment of temporal artery [26].

Ultrasound is not able to differentiate between TA and other vasculitis that can involve the temporal arteries.
For correct diagnosis, the appropriate examination technique and the experience of the sonographer are very important. There is a need for high quality color duplex ultrasound equipment, with standardized adjustments and a high frequency (> 8MHz) linear transducer [26]. False positive and negative halos may be seen in ultrasound examination. It is important to take care about the color gain during insonation, while if it is inappropriate could give false positive or negative results. Ultrasound is not able to differentiate between TA and other vasculitis that can involve the temporal arteries.

Clinical examination revealed abnormalities of both superficial temporal arteries and elevated acute phase reactants in his blood.
A 75-year-old man presented to the Neurology Department with severe new-onset headache localized in the right temporal area. Clinical examination revealed abnormalities of both superficial temporal arteries and elevated acute phase reactants in his blood. Diagnosis of giant cell arteritis was suspected and corticosteroid therapy was immediately started. Before biopsy color-duplex sonography of temporal arteries was performed. On both sides tortuous superficial temporal arteries with segmental dark halos and stenoses were present. These findings supported our clinical suspicion and we continued to treat our patient. A few days later the temporal artery biopsy confirmed histopathologically the initial diagnosis.

Clinical examination of both temporal arteries showed normal findings, without tenderness, swelling and pain.
There was no ophthalmoplegia on the left side; adduction and elevation were restricted on the right side. The right pupil was dilated and sluggishly reacting, the left one was normally reactive. Findings at the rest of the cranial nerves were normal. Strength in the left upper and lower limb was normal (5/5), with brisk deep tendon reflexes and patellar subclonus on both sides. There were no positive meningeal or cerebellar signs. Clinical examination of both temporal arteries showed normal findings, without tenderness, swelling and pain. Except for a body temperature of 38.5°C and fetor ex ore, the systemic examination was normal. She had three maxillary teeth extractions three days prior to symptoms onset. Her past medical history was negative.

Prof. Fabienne Perren (Switzerland) continued with ultrasound imaging of orbita and optic nerves and diagnostic value of it in temporal arteries, eye symptoms and syndromes. The morning session continued with the lecture of Prof. Ekaterina Titianova (Bulgaria) who spoke about muscle imaging using myosonology in healthy subjects and neuromuscular disorders. The practical workshops in the afternoon session were very productive, raised many discussions and gave opportunity to some delegates to make selftraining under supervision of the invited speakers.
