Modem ultrasound systems allow high-resolution transcranial sonography (TCS) of the brain structures. Enlargement of the echogenic signal (hyperechogenicity) of the substantia nigra (SN) has been reported as a highly characteristic finding in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) and is thought to reflect increased amounts of iron, bound to proteins other than ferritin, in the SN in the course of neurodegeneration. The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence of the SN hyperechogenicity in PD patients, as well as its possible clinical correlates.
