Ultrasound in the evaluation of hypoxic-ischemic injury and intracranial hemorrhage in neonates: the state of the art.
The ultrasonic diagnosis of hypoxic-ischemic injury and intracranial hemorrhage in neonates is reviewed. The technical and pertinent anatomical data are presented. The need to diagnose parenchymal lesions is emphasized. A sonographic classification as well as current recommendations for evaluation of intracranial contents in neonates suspected of hypoxic-ischemic injury and/or hemorrhage are presented.
