Abstract :
Objective: Study of neurosonography findings in very low birth weight neonates requiring respiratory support in level 3 NICU Methodology: All VLBW neonates (<1500gm) who required respiratory support, admitted in Noble Hospital , Pune, NICU were studied during 1 year study period. Sequential Cranial Ultrasound were done in all patients. Result: First cranial USG was done within 72 hrs of life. No abnormality was detected in 58 (72.5%) babies. IVH was found in 13 (16.3%) which was predominant abnormal cranial USG findings. Cereal edema was found in 6.3%, ventricular lesions in 7.5% and choroid plexus cyst in 3.8% patients. Conclusion: Out of 80 studied patients, 22 (27.5%) had abnormal cranial USG . IVH was the predominant finding. The risk of getting an abnormal cranial USG is more in babies who have low birth weight , low GA, abnormasl RI and who required respiratory support for prolonged duration.
