    Objective: The image of the real-time ultrasound combined with pulsed Doppler system is a noninvasive and bedside method that allows the cerebral blood flow velocity and evaluation and flow resistance measurement in intracranial hypertension patients. The intracranial hypertension is an important clinical condition and represents high risk to patients with acute brain injury. In this study, we describe in an experimental model, application of cerebral duplex to evaluate changes in pre and post-intracranial hypertension.
