Mymensingh Medical Journal. 2003 Jul; 12(2): 117-9http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/1028Mymensingh Medical Journal.In infants who have experienced perinatal injury or who have neurological symptoms, it is often difficult on the basis of history and clinical examination to come to a proper diagnosis. Cranial ultrasonography of the symptomatic neonates can often diagnose the underlying pathology. Cranial ultrasonography of 28 admitted neonates with neurological symptoms was done at Community Based Medical College Hospital (CBMCH), Mymensingh. In 11 cases (39%) there were positive findings in ultrasonography. Of them, 7 (25%) were Hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) and 4 (14%) had dilated ventricles. No abnormal ultrasonography findings were noted in the remaining neonates. Before closure of the fontanelles, Ultrasonography can help as a cheaper, easier and acceptable method to diagnose some neurologic problems in children.engBrain Diseases --ultrasonographyHumansInfant, NewbornJournal Article
