[The incidence of cavum septum pellucidum in preterm and term newborns].

We reviewed cranial sonographic studies done on 167 newborn (139 preterm and 28 term newborn infants) to determine the incidence of cavum septum pellucidum (CSP) and association with pregnancy, labor and newborn adaptation. A CSP was seen in 34.53% preterm (below 37 weeks of gestational age) and 14.29% term newborn. On basis of our results and included in literature we suggest, that this findings on ultrasound scan is not an unquestionably norm. Evolution of CSP in ultrasound examinations and neurodevelopment of children with CSP should be observed.
