Journal Title: GJRA-Global Journal For Research Analysis - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 5
Abstract
Ultrasound is widely used to diagnose various conditions in neonates and infants like intracranial hemorrhage, hypoxic-ischemic insult, changes of birth asphyxia and congenital disorders of the brain like hydrocephalus, etc as it is easily available, simple and noninvasive and more important is that it lacks ionizing radiation. The present hospital-based study of cranial sonography (Trans-fontanellar ultrasound) done in the Department of Radiodiagnosis, HNB Base government teaching hospital situated in Srinagar Garhwal, was done with the aim of assessing the burden of intracranial disorders in neonates and infants, especially the premature newborns who get admitted in neonatal intensive care units. A retrospective descriptive analysis was done on the data of 196 CUSG done.70.4 % CUSG were performed on neonates, 24.5% were performed on age group 29 days to 6 month age group and rest on age more than 6 months. The male-female gender ratio was 1: 0.96. The most common neonatal pathological conditions were changes of Hypoxic- ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) (28.4 %). Cranial sonography is a useful diagnostic tool in the evaluation of neonatal and infant brain and is a well-established mode of making primary diagnosis.It is preferred because it can be rapidly performed and is a portable, cost-effective test.
