Ultrasound detection of posterior fossa abnormalities in full-term neonates.
Routine cranial ultrasonography, using the anterior fontanelle as acoustic window enables visualization of the supratentorial brain structures in neonates and young infants. The mastoid fontanelle enables a better view of the infratentorial structures, especially cerebellar hemorrhage in preterm infants. Reports on the usefulness and reliability of cranial ultrasonography using the mastoid font...
متن کاملA new pattern of cerebellar hemorrhages in preterm infants.
OBJECTIVE Posterior fossa hemorrhages may be underdiagnosed in surviving neonates, with cerebellar hemorrhage discovered in 10% to 25% of autopsy specimens from very low birth weight infants. Posterior fossa lesions have been difficult to visualize by the traditional ultrasonography approach through the anterior fontanelle. Late in 1994, routine posterior fossa imaging through the posterolatera...

متن کاملQuantitative ultrasound assessment of bone in preterm and term neonates.
There is a need to explore novel methods of assessing bone health in sick preterm infants. This study of the speed of sound in the long bones of newborn term and preterm infants shows that, in this population, this technique is not site specific and has a high degree of interobserver and intraobserver precision. The speed of sound in newborn infants is primarily dependent on gestation rather th...
متن کاملPosterior cranial fossa depressed fracture
© 2014 Asian Journal of Neurosurgery | Published by Wolters Kluwer ‐ Medknow small and crowded space and any lesion reducing the volume can elevate the intra-cavitary pressure leading to fourth ventricular compression and hydrocephalus, a mechanism may be responsible for brain stem dysfunction in cases of closed depressed fracture of the posterior fossa. As seen in the present case, early surgi...
