Neonatal cerebral pathology diagnosed by ultrasound.
This article discusses cranial ultrasonography in various clinical settings. Since 1979, the authors have screened all preterm infants for intracranial hemorrhage, and here they present their experience with hemorrhage and its sequel, ventricular dilatation. Also discussed is the use of cranial ultrasonography in infants with seizures and encephalopathy and in infants with abnormal head growth or suspected cerebral malformations.
