متن کاملMeasurement of the subarachnoid space by ultrasound in preterm infants.
BACKGROUND Measurements of the subarachnoid space during routine cranial sonography may provide an indirect method of monitoring brain growth in preterm infants. METHODS The width of the subarachnoid space was measured on coronal views during head sonography. Initial scans (within five days of birth) were compared with follow up scans. RESULTS A total of 361 scans were performed on 201 pret...
