Neurosonography: Assessing the Premature Infant

Vijetha V Maller et al. Pediatr Radiol. 2017 Aug.

Abstract

Neurosonography has proven to be helpful in neonatal brain diagnosis. Premature infants are at great risk for intraventricular hemorrhage and periventricular leukomalacia, key abnormalities affecting developmental outcome. Here we discuss technique, anatomy, variants and key points for diagnosis.

Keywords: Brain; Germinal matrix; Hemorrhage; Hydrocephalus; Leukomalacia; Neonate; Preterm infant; Ultrasound.
