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...

Craniosynostosis (CS) occurs when the cranial sutures of skull fuse prematurely, and this results in intracranial pressure during development deformities. Maternal hyperthyroidism embryonic has been linked to CS. Our lab is currently establishing a model thyroxine-induced CS study mechanism involved thyroxine-enhanced ossification. Two groups fertilized chicken eggs were injected with saline or...

A 3-months old infant born to non-consanguineous parents was evaluated for hypotonia and developmental delay. He had a cataract in left eye, congenital glaucoma and megalocornea in right eye with no other dysmorphism. Anterior fontanelle was widely open. He was hypotonic with diminished tendon reflexes. Hypermobility was noted around both elbows and knees. There were unusual multiple skin folds...

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...

Abstract Central nervous system (CNS) tumors are the most common solid in children and adolescents. However, neonates aged younger than a year, they very rare. Clinical presentation is often subtle nonspecific. When neurological symptoms apparent at this age, cranial ultrasound (CUS) done as initial evaluation, with standard approach through anterior fontanel (AF), followed by further imaging, ...

A previously healthy 6-week-old boy was accidentally dropped on his head on a linoleum floor. He cried immediately, with no loss of consciousness, vomiting, seizure, or obvious neurologic abnormality , and fell asleep spontaneously within 10 min after the accident without his normal feeding . Physical examination by the pediatrician about 30 min later was normal except for a hematoma in the rig...

Amaç: Bu çalışmada 0-24 ay arası çocuklarda ön fontanel (ÖF) kapanma zamanı ve boyutlarını değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. çalışmanın ikincil amacı ise ÖF boyutu subaraknoid mesafe genişliği arasındaki ilişkinin araştırılmasıdır.
 Gereç Yöntemler: Ocak 2020 Ekim 2021 tarihleri arasında hafif kafa travması nedeniyle bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) çekilen olguların görüntüleri retrospektif olarak de...
