Abstract
The echoencephalographic examinations of 127 neonates were analysed to verify the role of US in the study of neonatal cerebral pathology, and to compare it with CT. US was of value in identifying the existence of a cerebral lesion and for follow-up. CT was more reliable for the characterization of the lesion and in establishing the surgical indications.
