Transfontanellar ultrasound scans were performed on 96 term infants admitted to a special care baby unit. Thirty infants had abnormal scans; abnormalities detected included intracranial haemorrhage, hydrocephalus and fluid collections. Intracranial haemorrhage is less common in term than in pre-term infants but is generally associated with a worse prognosis. Clinically asymptomatic infants were demonstrated to have significant abnormalities. It is suggested that ultrasound scanning should be the initial neuroradiological investigation in this age group and all term infants in a special care unit should be routinely scanned.
对入住特殊护理婴儿病房的96名足月儿进行了经囟门超声扫描。30名婴儿扫描结果异常；检测到的异常包括颅内出血、脑积水和液体积聚。颅内出血在足月儿中比在早产儿中少见，但通常预后较差。已证实临床无症状的婴儿也有明显异常。建议超声扫描应作为该年龄组最初的神经放射学检查方法，特殊护理病房的所有足月儿都应进行常规扫描。
