Experience in the Use of Neurosonography in the Diagnosis of Brain Abnormalities in Young Children

In recent years, brain damage in the early stages of ontogenesis has attracted increasing attention of a wide range of specialists. It is the leading cause of perinatal mortality and accounts for 60-70% of neurological pathology of childhood. According to literature data, brain development anomalies account for about 25% of all congenital malformations in newborn children. Numerous publications discuss the involvement of viral infections in the formation of congenital brain malformations, meningitis, meningoencephalitis and other structural lesions of the CNS. The etiological connection between congenital herpetic infection and intracranial haemorrhages has been established. Echoencephalography makes it possible to assess the degree of brain lesions in congenital viral infection. However, the issues of visualisation of structural changes of the brain in intrauterine viral infections are insufficiently covered in the literature.
