Ultrasound demonstration of cerebellar hemorrhage in a neonate

Cerebellar hemorrhage in very low birth weight premature infants: The advantage of the posterolateral fontanelle view

“…25 Studies published in the 1980s showed that cerebellar hemorrhage can be diagnosed by US via the anterior fontanelle. 1,[26][27][28][29] Several case reports have also described in utero diagnosis of cerebellar hemorrhage by both US and MRI. [30][31][32][33][34] Yousefzadeh and Naidish, in 1985, in a study of US anatomy of the posterior fossa with brain section correlation, advocated scanning through the temporal squama in infants up to 20 months for axial images of the brain, including the cerebellum.…”

“…Although they attributed these bleeds to occipital molding from ventilator mask Velcro tapes, in an autopsy study by Grunnet and Shields less than a year later, 12 infants, none of which had had Velcro bands, had cerebellar hemorrhage . Studies published in the 1980s showed that cerebellar hemorrhage can be diagnosed by US via the anterior fontanelle …”

Ultrasonic measurements of the posterior cranial fossa structures in neonates and infants

“…Numerous evaluations of the normal supratentorial anatomy have appeared [5-7, 11, 12]. Several previous reports have mentioned the value of ultrasonography in the detection of haemorrhagic lesions and developmental anomalies of the posterior fossa [2][3][4][8][9][10]. There have only a few reports, however, concerning the normal infratentorial structure [1,4].…”
