Intracranial Hemorrhage Diagnosed with Transcranial Ultrasound in a Comatose, Postliver Transplant Patient

We report a case of an intracranial hemorrhage first suspected during a trans-cranial Doppler assessment of a postorthotopic liver transplant patient. The patient was at considerable risk of bleeding, due to a primary graft nonfunction, but he had also elevated ammonium levels, justifying the comatose state, and no focal neurological deficits.
