ABSTRACT
We analysed ultrasonic findings of 54 brain scan cases(45 cases were performed through the anterior fontanelle and the temporoparietal thin bone and 9 through the surgical bone defect) and comparison of these pictures with those obtained in the same patients by CT scan showed prominent correlation. Ultrasonography was more sensitive to different histologic features and provided a more accurate depiction of the neuropathologic characteristics in most of cases. We conclude that ultrasonography of the brain was proven to be quite useful in the screening and follow up of neonates and infants under 15 months of age, and as a follow up method in post operative patients. It was also more accurate than CT scan in cases of abscesses and cystic lesions.
