When is Neurosonography Recommended?

Performing neurosonography during the first months of a child’s life is a crucial step—not only to identify potential issues but also to prevent further complications and correctly assess developmental progress.

Neurological issues can manifest in various ways, including restless behavior, sleep disturbances, frequent tremors (seizures), unusual head circumference growth, or a tense fontanelle. Often, parents may not notice subtle deviations, whereas an expert ultrasound can detect fluid accumulation (hydrocephalus), cysts, or post-delivery hypoxic changes.

The examination, performed by a specialist radiologist, allows for the timely identification of any underlying cause, providing a clear diagnostic picture for further treatment or observation plans.

How is Neurosonography Performed?

At VitaMed Medical Center, neurosonography is performed in a comfortable, stress-free environment for the baby. Initially, the radiologist reviews the child’s medical history (delivery details, symptoms). The scan is performed through the anterior fontanelle (the soft spot) using specialized expert transducers.

By correlating all data and images, the physician evaluates the brain structure, ventricular sizes, and the vascular system. This approach ensures not only an accurate diagnosis but also eliminates misinterpretations, thanks to the high qualifications of our specialists and state-of-the-art technology.
