The purpose of this review is to describe recent developments in field of neurosonology applied in acute ischemic stroke, both in diagnosis and therapy. Ultrasound allows a better etiopathogenetic definition of acute stroke, essential to impress effective thrombolytic therapy. They also have a therapeutic role enhancing thrombolysis by insonation of intracranial occlusion areas. Moreover, this technique is followed by innovative use of microbubbles, able to further accelerate fibrinolysis.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to describe recent developments in field of neurosonology applied in acute ischemic stroke, both in diagnosis and therapy. Ultrasound allows a better etiopathogenetic definition of acute stroke, essential to impress effective thrombolytic therapy.
