title: [Ultrasonic measurement of the cerebellum in the newborn infant as a prognostic index of gestational age. (A preliminary study)].
abstract: This paper studies if cerebellum measurement by ultrasound is a point of prognostic value for evaluation of gestational age. Ninety-nine neonates of different age of gestation, were studied. Ultrasonographic study of the cerebellum was done in all the cases during the first 24 hours of life. It is suggested that the cerebellum measurement may be one indicator more for the evaluation of gestational age, and therefore of value to identify the products with growth disturbances.
