Role of Neurosonogram in Evaluation of Brain Injuries in Preterm Babies
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Neuro developmental abnormalities was very common in premature neonates due to incomplete development of the central nervous system. Neurosonogram is a sensitive tool for detecting these abnormalities earlier. Hence, this study was done to identify various cerebral lesions in the preterm babies. Methods: A total of 50 preterm babies, referred to Department of Radio diagnosis for cranial ultrasonography were included in the study. Results: Among 50 babies, 39 (78%) showed normal study and remaining 11 (22%) showed abnormal scan of which Subependymal/ Intraventricular haemorrhage (SEH/IVH) 16% was very common and Periventricular echogenicity (PVE) 6 %. Conclusion: Neurosonogram is cost effective, non-invasive, non-ionizing and helps in early detection of various cerebral lesions.
