Abstract
Ultrasound findings in four newborn infants with neurological abnormalities and abnormal facies are described. The ultrasound images are compared with the images achieved by computerized tomography and with the findings at postmortem in 3 of the patients. Accurate neuroanatomical diagnosis confirmed by CT and/or autopsy findings is demonstrated in all 4 cases. It is concluded that ultrasound, particularly using an automated water path scanner, is a viable alternative in the investigation of brain malformation in the neonate.
