This book discusses the key features of normal age-dependent neonatal head ultrasonography as
well as the findings of the most common neonatal neurological disorders as visualized by this
modality. Neonatal head ultrasound is an important diagnostic tool in the initial evaluation of
intracranial abnormalities in newborns. Head ultrasound is a safe and cost-efficient tool for
detecting brain abnormalities in preterm and term neonates monitoring the progression of brain
lesions and describing the maturation of the developing neonatal brain. To facilitate its use
at the bedside the book is organized by clinical findings and their differential diagnoses.
For each disorder a clinical vignette describing the clinical presentation of the newborn is
accompanied by high-quality ultrasound images that depict the abnormal findings and detailed
explanations of these findings. This book is a succinct guide to neonatal head ultrasonography
for neuroradiologists neonatologists and pediatricians.
