Intracranial changes of newborns and young children can easily be discovered by modern sonography, especially as long as fontanelles are still open. Sonography of brain first should be done before computed tomography, encephalography and/or ventriculography are performed. Correspondence of most sonographic findings and computed tomography by other authors, is supporting reduction of CT-investigations in favour of sonography. We cannot agree with the idea that computed tomography should be the most important first investigation. Technical reasons as thick skull or closed fontanelles are making sonography impossible and computer tomography should be used. Special examples out of about 1100 Sonograms of skulls of children are demonstrating, that sonography of newborns and children is the method, which is cheap, without risk, less time consuming, and without any radiation stress.
现代超声检查很容易发现新生儿和幼儿的颅内变化，尤其是在囟门仍然开放的时候。脑部超声检查应在进行计算机断层扫描、脑造影和/或脑室造影之前首先进行。其他作者的大多数超声检查结果与计算机断层扫描结果相符，这支持减少CT检查而采用超声检查。我们不同意计算机断层扫描应作为最重要的首要检查的观点。由于颅骨厚或囟门闭合等技术原因无法进行超声检查时，应使用计算机断层扫描。从大约1100例儿童颅骨超声图中选取的特殊例子表明，新生儿和儿童的超声检查是一种廉价、无风险、耗时少且无任何辐射压力的检查方法。
