title: Ultrasonographic measurement of subarachnoid space in normal term newborns.
abstract: This study was conducted in order to assess the normal range of subarachnoid space width in healthy term newborns. A total of 230 healthy newborns were evaluated within the first 28 days of life. Measurements were correlated with body weight, height and head circumference. Mean measurements for falx-cortex and craniocortical widths and the correlations are given in tables. Subarachnoid space widths increased as weight, height and head circumference increased and the correlation was statistically significant.
