Abstract
The calcar avis [in the human neonate] indents the medial wall of the occipatal horn of the lateral ventricle and, when prominent, may be seen on an ultrasonogram (especially one obtained through the posterior fontanel). It should be recognized as a normal variant and not be mistaken for an abnormal mass or resolving blood clot.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
