Intracranial Abscess
Conditions
Brief summary
This study aimed to evaluate preterm neonates presenting with seizures using transcranial sonography (cranial ultrasound) to detect intracranial abnormalities.
Detailed description
To determine the prevalence and types of intracranial abnormalities detected by transcranial sonography in preterm neonates who present with seizures, and to analyze the association between these findings and clinical outcomes.
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTTranscranial Sonographic Examination (Cranial Ultrasound)
No evidence of intracranial abnormalities such as intraventricular hemorrhage, germinal matrix hemorrhage, periventricular leukomalacia, hydrocephalus, or infarction. Brain structures were assessed to be age-appropriate for gestational development.
