Neurosonographic recognition of subependymal cysts in high-risk neonates.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Serial neurosonography was performed in 210 high-risk, preterm neonates. Eleven (5.8%) demonstrated small cystic formations in the subependymal lining of the lateral ventricles. These subependymal cysts were unilateral and were detected at the exact site of a previous subependymal hemorrhage in two cases. These 11 infants were not significantly different in maturity, size, or clinical parameters from our main high-risk newborn population. Ten survivors had marked motor retardation at follow-up ages of 9-13 months, and one died from neonatal sepsis.

Subependymal cysts in normal neonates.
We undertook a prospective ultrasound study of subependymal cyst formation in normal neonates. Twenty five of 500 normal Chinese neonates (5%) were found to have subependymal cysts. Most of these (18 of 25) showed no obvious perinatal insult. This study suggests a rather high incidence of concealed intrauterine subependymal haemorrhage in normal term neonates.
متن کاملFrontal horn thin walled cysts in preterm neonates are benign.
BACKGROUND Screening cranial ultrasound led to the discovery of isolated frontal horn cysts quite distinct from periventricular leucomalacia cysts. AIM To clarify their significance, incidence, characteristics, causal factors or aetiology, and effect on long term outcome. DESIGN A retrospective observational study of all first cranial ultrasound scans (total of 2914) performed during the pe...
متن کاملMR imaging of intracranial cysticercosis: comparison with CT and anatomopathologic features.
Eight patients with neurocysticercosis were studied with CT and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Two cysts were shown better with MR than with CT. A conspicuous, high-intensity mural nodule containing the scolex allowed specific identification of intraventricular and parenchymal cysticerci. CT evidence of calcification and metrizamide enhancement in the nodule was also noted in one case. Racemo...
متن کاملNeurosonographic abnormalities associated with maternal history of cocaine use in neonates of appropriate size for their gestational age.
PURPOSE To determine whether increased incidence of neurosonographic abnormalities (predominantly of the basal ganglia and thalamus) in cocaine-exposed neonates who are small for their gestational age is attributable to the cocaine or to neonatal size. METHODS Neonates whose sizes were appropriate for their gestational age with no evidence of hypoxia or respiratory distress were identified pr...
متن کاملFrequency of linear hyperechogenicity over the basal ganglia in young infants with congenital rubella syndrome.
Five young infants with congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) underwent cranial ultrasonographic examinations and/or computed tomographic examinations. Only two of these infants were small for their gestational age, and none of them were microcephalic at birth. Deafness and ocular lesions were found in four patients, and congenital heart disease was found in three. All had abnormal ultrasonographic...
