NCT05113108 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Last updated 2021-11-29

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

* To investigate the prevalence of cerebral abnormal findings in neonates admitted at nursery unit.{11}
* to identify the associated clinical features and to better target neonatal CUS investigations.{11}

Conditions

  • Brain Abnormalities

Interventions

DEVICE

CUS

All neonates undergoing CUS at nursery unit at assiut university hospital. Cranial ultrasound is performed with basic grayscale imaging. For optimal resolution and good overview, a multifrequency (5-10 MHz) linear or convex sector transducer is used. Imaging is obtained through the anterior fontanel in the coronal and sagittal planes.{12,13} Typically, six to eight coronal images are obtained beginning at the frontal lobes just anterior to the frontal horns and extending to the occipital lobes posterior to the lateral ventricle trigones.{14} The transducer is then rotated 90°, and approximately five images are obtained, including a midline sagittal view of the corpus callosum and cerebellar vermis in addition to bilateral parasagittal images beginning in the midline and progressing laterally through the peripheral cortex.Doppler ultrasound may be added to assess ischemic areas.{13-15}
