title: [Cross sectional echoencephalography in infants].
abstract: Importance of echoencephalography increased during development of neonatal intensive care. In addition to investigations in neonates 2-D-echoencephalography even during pregnancy and infancy can be used for detection of intracranial pathology. A standardized method of investigation and the knowledge of the pathology of the expected lesions are of fundamental importance. During neonatal period and infancy intraventricular and subdural hemorrhage, brain tumors, postinfection sequelae, hypoxic brain damage, alteration of intracranial perfusion and cerebral malformations can be detected.
