Abstract

Seizures are one of the common symptoms seen in preterm infants. It occurs in 6% to 13% of very low birth weight infants, and in 1to 2 per 1,000 of infants born at term [1, 2, 3]. Sonography of the brain also known as neurosonogram is proved diagnostic modality to evaluate intracranial abnormalities [4 -8]. It is very sensitive in picking intracranial pathologies like haemorrhage (intracranial, intraventricular and subependymal), ischemia, hydrocephalus [9, 10], and congenital abnormalities. In our hospital all the preterm infants are scanned for abnormality in brain by sonography as they can be missed on clinical evaluation. In our study intraventricular bleed was the most common abnormality detected.
