Ultrasound examinations (US) of the brain are possible in the presence of an acoustic window in the skull, either after craniotomy or through an open fontanelle. In this study 19 children were examined, 11 via a suboccipital craniectomy; 9 cases were examined more than once. Via this suboccipital route most of the contents of the posterior fossa, the third and lateral ventricles could be made visible. In two patients with a temporal or parietal craniotomy the involved hemisphere could be visualized. Six patients were examined via the open fontanelle after insertion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS). In three of these cases the examination was undertaken to evaluate also a posterior fossa cyst. The findings were compared with CT if the findings were equivocal.
在颅骨存在声学窗时，即开颅术后或通过开放囟门，可对脑部进行超声检查（US）。本研究对19名儿童进行了检查，其中11名通过枕下颅骨切除术进行检查；9例接受了不止一次检查。通过枕下途径，后颅窝的大部分内容物、第三脑室和侧脑室均可清晰显示。在2例颞部或顶部开颅手术的患者中，受累半球得以可视化。6例患者在置入脑室腹腔分流术（VPS）后通过开放囟门进行检查。其中3例还对后颅窝囊肿进行了评估。若检查结果不明确，则将结果与CT进行比较。
