1. Review the spectrum of abnormalities that may be encountered when performing transcranial ultrasound of the neonatal brain. Examples of postnatal MRI and prenatal imaging will be demonstrated for correlation. 2. Identify key imaging features that will aid in appropriate diagnosis.

1. Normal anatomy a. Normal findings in premature and term infants 2. Abnormal findings a. Acute hemorrhage i. Germinal matrix hemorrhage ii. Intraventricular hemorrhage iii. Intraparenchymal hemorrhages b. Periventricular leukomalacia c. Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy d. Acute infarct e. Sequelae of in utero insult i. Laminar necrosis ii. Porencephaly iii.
