[Updating the diagnosis of neonatal cerebral pathology. Comparison of ultrasonic diagnosis and CT x-ray in hemorrhage-ischemia-anoxia].

The authors compare the accuracy of Ultrasound and Computed Tomography in the diagnosis of hypoxic-ischemic brain damage and intracranial haemorrhage in 25 newborns with respiratory distress syndrome. Both examinations are performed at a maximum interval of 48 hours, within the first 8 days of life, and lately, after the third week. The results allow the introduction of a diagnostic protocol.
