title: [Measurement of the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricles in full-term newborns using ultrasonics].
abstract: Brain ultrasonography was carried out in 50 full-term, healthy newborns in order to obtain normal measurements of the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricles to have a basis to work with in future studies concerning Central Nervous System infections where the choroid plexus may be affected early on due to the bacterial infection. The parasagittal views demonstrated the anterior-posterior diameter of the left choroid was on the average 0.52 cm and 0.50 cm for the right one. The posterior coronal view showed the length of the left choroid plexus to be on the average 2.29 cm and 2.34 cm for the right. The transverse diameter as seen from a coronal view was 0.55 cm for the left choroid and on the average 0.52 for the right.
