Cranial ultrasound remains the most practical and available imaging modality for evaluating the brain of neonates. This is a pictorial essay on preterm (≥24 weeks) and term neonates who had an unremarkable cranial ultrasound in the first week of life at St. Luke's Medical Center Quezon City and St. Luke's Medical Center Global City from January 2017 to December 2021. We present two images for each landmark week of gestation in this retrospective multicentric review. The first image is in the coronal plane depicting the foramen of Monro and the third ventricle and the second image is in the sagittal plane at the level of the caudothalamic groove. The goal is to create an easy-to-use reference for the typical appearance and progression of the normal sulcation and gyration of the neonatal brain on ultrasound, depending on the weekly gestational age. Having a reference atlas matched for gestational age is a helpful tool for screening a myriad of pathologies and is expected to help clinicians and radiologists involved in the care of neonates monitor the development of the brain.
头颅超声仍然是评估新生儿脑部最实用且可获得的成像方式。这是一篇图片文章，讲述的是2017年1月至2021年12月在奎松城圣卢克医疗中心和全球城圣卢克医疗中心出生的早产（≥24周）和足月儿，他们在出生第一周时头颅超声检查结果正常。在这项回顾性多中心研究中，我们针对每个妊娠标志性周数展示了两张图像。第一张图像是冠状面，显示孟氏孔和第三脑室；第二张图像是矢状面，位于丘脑尾状沟水平。目的是根据每周的胎龄，为新生儿脑部正常脑沟和脑回的典型外观及发育过程创建一个易于使用的参考资料。拥有与胎龄匹配的参考图谱是筛查众多病症的有用工具，有望帮助参与新生儿护理的临床医生和放射科医生监测脑部发育情况。
