Sažetak
Intracranial infections (ICI) are important causes of morbidity and mortality in neonates and infants. Brain ultrasonography (US) showed: abnormal echogenicity of parenchyma, echogenic sulci and gyri, ventricular dilatation, complications and sequellae of the infection (ventriculitis, abscessus, hydrocephalus and calcifications), disturbances of neuronal migration, cerebellar hypoplasia, delays in myelination, SE cysts and lenticulostriatal vasculopathy (LSV). LSV appears as branched candelstick - shaped echogenicities or hyperechoic punctuations located within basal ganglia (BG). Transfontanellar Color Duplex Doppler (TFCD) imaging confirm the vascular origin of these lesions with pulsaltile flows as an arterial spectrum. It revealed in the first months of life, but after that time TFCD showed no more flow within the echogenicities, suggesting thrue calcifications. The aim of this work is to present TFCD findings in ten infants with congenital CMV infection.
