At Children's Colorado - For preterm infants, we use the ventricular index data from Brouwer et al "New reference values for the neonatal cerebral ventricles". For older children, i.e. 6 month old presenting with macrocrania, I am not aware of good normal values for ventricular size in this population, but open to suggestions!
Great topic. The conference prepare every year professor. How to apply training for neonate brain, heart,, lung, bdomen......etc,
What are the sonographic measurements or criteria used to diagnose hydrocephalus in newborn/infants? @Jeff or any of the authors?
