[Predictive value of color Doppler neuro-sonography for the development of neurological sequels in newborn infants with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy].

Background/aim: The use of color Doppler neurosonography (cD-US) allows simultaneous examination of parenchymal and vascular cerebral structures. Evaluation of cerebral blood flow velocities (CBFV) and vascular resistance are important in assessment of cerebral circulation in neonates with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of cD-US for abnormal neurodevelopmental outcome in the neonates with HIE.
