title: [Real-time sonography of the skull in the newborn].
abstract: The results of 293 examinations of the skull by sonography in 170 newborn are presented. In 73 patients the results could be compared with the findings on CT or at post mortem. In 48%, abnormal sonograms of the skull were obtained, due to congenital abnormalities, hydrocephalus or intracerebral bleeds. High accuracy and wide application make real time sonography the diagnostic procedure of first choice for the examination of the brain of the newborn. An attempt has been made to determine the optimum time for the examination and suitable intervals for follow-up.
