Brain neurosonography was performed in 15 babies with toxicosis-+-linked nervous disorders. Three types of the brain structure were established in the patients: 1, marked brain swelling in all patients; 2, concomitant perinatally induced brain structures' changes; 3, intracranial hemorrhage focuses resulting from the DIC syndrome. The technique is useful for precise diagnosis and prognosis of the outcome of the neurotoxic coma.

Neurosonography (NSG) is pivotal for rapid, point-of-care neonatal brain assessment. This review elucidates the comprehensive applications of NSG in pediatric care, emphasizing its role in early diagnosis and management of pathologies affecting the pediatric head-such as scalp lesions, misshapen calvarium, ventricular distortions, and cerebrovascular abnormalities, and its specific role in conditions like hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) across different neonatal gestational ages. We explore its diagnostic advantage in critical care settings, particularly for infants with stroke risk in sickle cell disease, ECMO-related complications, screening for therapeutic hypothermia, and routine neonatal intensive care unit monitoring.

Objective: To determine outcomes at birth and postnatal sequelae of congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection following maternal primary infection in the first trimester with normal fetal brain imaging at midgestation.
Methods: A retrospective, single-center cohort study was conducted, including all cases of proven cCMV infection following maternal primary infection in the first trimester from 2014 until 2021 and normal fetal brain imaging before 22 weeks of gestation. All pregnancies were followed according to our protocol, which offers amniocentesis at least 8 weeks after the onset of infection, serial ultrasound scans, and a fetal MRI in the third trimester.

Article Synopsis
- * Fetal MRI serves as an additional imaging technique that can provide more detailed information, especially for brain abnormalities, though its advantages are debated among specialists.
- * The combination of ultrasound and MRI results, interpreted by a team of experts, is crucial for accurate diagnosis and guidance for expectant parents, and fetal MRI poses no risks to the fetus.
Magnetic resonance imaging and tractography of sensorimotor tracts in fetuses with intraventricular hemorrhage: feasibility and added prognostic value.

Objectives: To assess the feasibility, characteristics and prognostic value of prenatal visualization of the corticospinal tracts (CSTs) using diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based tractography in fetuses with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH).
Methods: This was a retrospective single-center cohort study of singleton fetuses diagnosed with IVH on MRI from January 2011 to December 2018. The left and right CSTs were reconstructed according to an in-utero diffusion tensor imaging sequence using a multi-region of interest (ROI) deterministic tractography approach.
Evaluation of Anterior and Middle Brain Structures With Cerebrovascular Flow in Fetuses With Fetal Growth Restriction: A Prospective Study.

Perinatology Department Ankara, Ministry of Health, Etlik City Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.
Objective: To investigate the adaptation of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) in fetuses with fetal growth restriction (FGR) and assess if forebrain and midbrain structures are affected by vascular adaptations.
Methods: A prospective case-control study involving normally developed fetuses and those with late-onset FGR (estimated fetal weight < 3rd percentile and/or abdominal circumference < 3rd percentile). Doppler indices of the middle cerebral artery (MCA), ACA and umbilical artery (UA) were determined between 32 + 0 and 37 + 0 weeks.
