title: Ultrasound measurement of the subarachnoid space in infants.
abstract: An original non-invasive method for easy and reproducible measurement of the subarachnoid space width in infants is described. Preliminary results of normal values during the neonatal period are presented as well as of the validity of the ultrasound method for abnormal values obtained by available computed tomography scanning.
