title: Colour Doppler imaging of intracranial vasculopathy in severe infantile sialidosis.
abstract: Neonatal ascites is usually attributed to prenatal infections, lysosomal storage disease and anomalies of the genitourinary tract, gastrointestinal tract or cardiovascular system. We report one case of neonatal ascites associated with infantile sialidosis. Cerebral sonography showed stripe-like intracerebral echogenicities in the region of the basal ganglia. Colour Doppler imaging demonstrated blood flow within the echogenicities confirming the suspected diagnosis of intracranial vasculopathy.
