Over the last 5 years realtime ultrasonography has become the most important diagnostic tool in evaluating intracranial haemorrhage and ventricular dilatation as well as structural anomalies of the newborn brain. There is excellent correlation between ultrasound findings and those of both computed tomography and autopsy.1 Unlike computerized tomography ultrasound does not use ionizing irradiation, is relatively inexpensive, can be carried out quickly and repeatedly at the cotside and involves little disturbance of the infant. With these attributes it is not surprising that it is being used both for diagnosis in infants with symptoms suggestive of periventricular haemorrhage (PVH) or hydrocephalus, and as a scanning tool for infants of birthweight less than 1500‐2000 g and/or gestational age less than 33‐35 weeks.
