“…There are also similar reports regarding other inter-ventricular dimensions, such as third ventricle width, fourth ventricle width, and fourth ventricle length (5,16). However, the Sondhi et al study (11) demonstrated a marked increase in TOD and AHW with progression of GA.…”

“…Whether AHW correlated with GA is controversial, several reports (5, 8, 13) similar to our results showed that AHW remained constant with increase in GA. Our study also showed just minimal change in AHW with birth weight. In most of the reports (5,8,11), the AHW is less than 3 mm. It is in line with our results.…”

“…Accurate diagnosis of ventricular abnormality in preterm neonates is based on a good comprehension of normal and abnormal values, and it saves the time for rapid intervention. Available data on the reference curves are limited (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11). Significant variation exists between the studies with respect to patient characteristics sample size, measured parameters, and timing of sonography.…”

“…Significant variation exists between the studies with respect to patient characteristics sample size, measured parameters, and timing of sonography. In most of the previous research, full term neonates are included (7)(8)(9)11). A considerable number of studies were done more than a decade ago with less-sophisticated ultrasound equipment (5,(7)(8)(9)(10) …”

Background: Incomplete formation and maturation of the central nervous system makes it extremely vulnerable to injury, in the case of premature neonates. This can result in a broad range of neurodevelopmental abnormalities. Cranial ultrasound is a sensitive tool for the early detection of these. Hence the present study was undertaken to assess the prevalence of neurosonological abnormality in preterm infants. The aims of the study were to identify and enumerate the neurosonographic features, to assess the severity of brain injuries by grading the neurosonographic findings and to correlate the clinical presentations with the neurosonographic findings.Methods: The present study was conducted in Department of Radiodiagnosis, Pariyaram Medical College. It consisted of all preterm neonates (less than 37 weeks of gestational age) referred to the Radiology department. The initial scan will be done as soon as possible (within 2 weeks of birth) followed by a repeat scan of the same infants at 36 weeks of corrected age, and at 8weeks post-partum.Results: A total of 100 neonates with gestational age varying from 29 to 37 weeks were studied, with the birth weight varying from 1.5 to 1.9 kg. The most common abnormality found on neurosonogram was germinal-matrix haemorrhage, followed by periventricular leukomalacia.Conclusions: Real time sonography is a sensitive non-invasive initial investigation for the detection of various brain lesions in the preterm neonates.

Objectives-To assess the visualization rate and size of the frontal horns (FHs) and cavum septi pellucidi (CSP) in healthy fetuses throughout pregnancy.Methods-After Institutional Review Board approval, 522 consecutive uncomplicated singleton pregnancies between 15 and 39 gestational weeks were enrolled in the study. Ultrasound measurements of the anterior horn width (AHW), center from the horn distance (CFHD), distance from the FHs to the CSP, and CSP width were retrospectively performed using axial transventricular or transcerebellar planes. Available maternal body mass indices were recorded.Results-At least 1 FH was seen in 78% of the cases. The mean AHW decreased over the second trimester and plateaued in the third trimester. The CFHD plateaued in the second trimester and increased in the third trimester. Downside FHs were generally larger than upside FHs. More FHs were measured in transventricular (69%) than transcerebellar (31%) planes. Frontal horns were seen with high, low, and no confidence in 57%, 21%, and 22% of cases, respectively. No-confidence rates were 17% in the second trimester and 42% in the third trimester. The CSP was not visualized in 4% of cases; 15 of 19 cases of a nonvisualized CSP were scanned between 18 and 37 weeks. Mean body mass indices AE SDs were 27.6 AE 6.7 kg/m 2 for the patients in cases of a visualized CSP and 32.4 AE 9.1 kg/m 2 for the patients in cases of a nonvisualized CSP.Conclusions-Normative data for the fetal FH and CSP width were established. Frontal horns are more frequently seen on transventricular views and are difficult to confidently assess in the late third trimester. This study challenges previously reported data that the CSP is seen in 100% of cases from 18 to 37 weeks.
