Sonographic ventriculography: a new potential use for sonographic contrast agents in neonatal hydrocephalus.

Complications of Citrobacter neonatal meningitis: assessment by real-time cranial sonography correlated with CT.

Real-time cranial sonography via the anterior fontanelle was used serially over a 3- and 6-week period, respectively, to evaluate two infants who developed multicystic encephalomalacia secondary to Citrobacter neonatal meningitis. Sonographic findings included heterogeneous parenchymal echogenicity, gyral prominence, periventricular hypoechoic areas from which cystic spaces evolved, and develop...

Erroneous sonographic identification of fetal lateral ventricles: relationship to the echogenic periventricular "blush".

We show, through correlation of fetal, neonatal, and necropsy brain sonography, that the three-parallel-echogenic-line configuration classically thought to represent fetal lateral ventricular margins on high axial images are actually extraventricular, lying within cerebral white matter. Accurate sonographic identification of fetal hydrocephalus is essential for appropriate patient management. B...

The value of biophysical profile and sonographic cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) in predicting childbirth mode and adverse neonatal outcomes

Atrial ventricular diverticulum: sonographic diagnosis.

Diverticulum of the lateral ventricle is an uncommon occurrence in patients with hydrocephalus [1-5]. Confusing this entity with similar-appearing abnormalities such as arachnoid cysts , cystic neoplasms, or the trapped fourth ventricle must be avoided to ensure proper mangement [6-8]. Although the pathologic and CT features have been described [1] , the sonographic appearance is not widely kno...

3 Prostate Ragab

The value of prostatic sonography has dramatically increased in the past three decades. Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) imaging is currently an integral part of prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment procedures, providing high-resolution anatomical detail of the prostate region. In this chapter we review the anatomy and sonographic methods in imaging of the prostate and prostatic diseases. Also ...
