“…Four fetuses with echogenic material in the frontal horns on sonography had a normal MRI findings. Eleven of 17 fetuses (72%) had follow-up sonograms; 8 of 11 (72%) had echogenic material seen on the first follow-up sonogram (1-5 weeks after the index sonogram) with resolution over time (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16) weeks) in 7 of 11 (63%).…”

Objective-The purpose of this study was to evaluate the importance of echogenic material in the fetal frontal horns.Methods-This was a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act-compliant, Institutional Review Board-approved retrospective study. In part 1 of the study, prenatal sonography, prenatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and birth outcomes of 17 fetuses (mean gestational age, 19 weeks; range, 15-34 weeks) with prospective echogenic material in the frontal horns were assessed. In part 2, 400 consecutive sonographic fetal surveys (mean gestational age, 19 weeks; range, 15-38 weeks) were reviewed to determine the incidence. In part 3, 2 independent reviewers assessed the appearance of the frontal horns in 40 fetuses (20 with suspected intraventricular hemorrhage from parts 1 and 2 and 20 who were interpreted to have normal findings in part 2).

Real time ultrasound scanning of the head in neonates and infants, including a correlation between ultrasound and computed tomography

The results of ultrasound (US) head scans performed in a children's hospital over a 6 month period have been reviewed and correlated with the results of computed tomography (CT). Two hundred and twenty-four scans were performed on 141 children ranging in age from a few days to 18 months. The clinical indications with which these children were referred were: abnormal neurological symptoms or signs, screening for hydrocephalus in neural tube defects (NTD), enlarging heads, suspected intra-cranial haemorrhage (ICH) and its sequelae, suspected complications of meningitis, investigations of suspected syndromes and following trauma. Twenty-nine of these children also had CT scans. There was good correlation between the two examinations and in only one case (a subdural collection) was a serious abnormality missed by US. US head scanning has been found to be a very reliable technique. It is the initial investigation of choice for imaging the brain of neonates and infants and in many instances it is the only investigation necessary.

“…Echographic imaging of cerebral structures [5,8,21,26] and Doppler bloodflow velocity measurement [9,14,17] are two reliable modes of diagnostic ultrasound, offering certain advantages over computerized tomography [5,21,26] and arteriography [9,14,17]. In infants the fontanel and sutures offer the acoustic window for a convenient ultrasound view into the skull.…”

Ultrasound detection of congenital Arteriovenous aneurysm of the great cerebral vein of Galen

et al. 1982

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Using combined echoencephalography and Doppler flow determination the diagnosis Arteriovenous aneurysm of the great cerebral vein of Galen could be made in two infants. Without vascular surgery one patient died, the other recovered completely. CT scanning confirmed the diagnosis. Invasive methods such as cerebral angiography were avoided. Case histories, neuropathological findings, ultrasound method and results are presented. Pathogenesis, clinical signs, treatment and prognosis are discussed. With the ultrasound method presented, the nature and location of the vascular anomaly were demonstrable, thus additional higher risk diagnostic methods could be avoided or planned more purposefully.
