Cranial sonography (US) is the most widely used neuroimaging procedure in premature infants.
US helps in assessing the neurologic status of the child, since clinical examination and symptoms are often nonspecific
![Page 3: Infant cranial ultrasound](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554b2dacb4c905d3088b4d29/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
It gives information about immediate and long term prognosis.

Aims of Neonatal Cranial Ultrasound
Exclude/demonstrate cerebral pathologyAssess timing of injuryAssess neurological prognosisHelp make decisions on continuation of
neonatal intensive careOptimise treatment and support

Indications
Premature infants - all <1500g or <32 weeks gestation
Low APGAR score Neurologic changes Cranial dysmorphism Seizures Follow-up of hemorrhage and periventricular
leuokmalacia
![Page 7: Infant cranial ultrasound](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554b2dacb4c905d3088b4d29/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Technique
Generally 5-10MHz sector transducer is used, however do not limit yourself to only one transducer.
Generally the anterior fontanel is used as acoustic window, posterior fontanel however is a good window to the occipital lobes.

Germinal Matrix Hemorrhage
Far more common in premature infants Germinal matrix - highly vascular and
vulnerable to hypoxemia and ischemia, only present 24-32nd week gestation
Image 4-7 days after birth 90% of hemorrhages occur in first week of life Follow with weekly U/S to evaluate for hydrocephalus
![Page 36: Infant cranial ultrasound](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554b2dacb4c905d3088b4d29/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Grade I - Confined to germinal matrix Grade II - Intraventricular without ventricular
dilatation Grade III - Intraventricular with ventricular
dilatation Grade IV - Periventricular hemorrhagic
infarction

5-10% of premature infants Infarction of deep white matter Occurs in the watershed zone in infants,
adjacent to trigone of the lateral ventricles Seen as increased echogenicity (greater than
choroid plexus)

Often missed with ultrasound, serial exams increase sensitivity
May get cystic changes in 2-3 weeks Symptoms: spastic diplegia, intellectual
deficits
