Diagnostic value of neurosonography in intrauterine infection in newborns

Abstract

ntrauterine infections are characterized by polyetiology, the absence of specific signs and a wide variety of clinical manifestations, which complicates their antenatal diagnosis and, as a consequence, preventive measures and treatment of a realized infection [8,9,12]. Neurosonography is currently the primary screening method of research, due to its ease of implementation and relative availability. Neurosonography is a method of two-dimensional ultrasound examination of the anatomical structures of the brain, which uses the property of sound to be reflected from the boundaries of tissue structures [3,4,14]. Acoustic windows: large and small fontanelles, defects in the bones of the skull, enlarged sutures, foramen magnum in newborns. The method is non-invasive, does not require preliminary preparation and allows you to trace the dynamics of the pathological process in real time. The image is presented on the monitor screen in the form of signals of hyper- and hypoechoic density [10,15].
