Transcranial Sonographic Evaluation of Preterm Neonates Presenting With Seizures and Its Association With Intracranial Abnormalities

This study aimed to evaluate preterm neonates presenting with seizures using transcranial sonography (cranial ultrasound) to detect intracranial abnormalities.

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Both genders during neonatal period i.e. up to 28 days of postnatal life.
• Seizures having any birth weight and gestational age.3.6.2

Exclusion Criteria:

• Preterm with Congenital spinal anomalies causing seizures such as spina-bifida, scoliosisetc.
• Extra-cranial anomalies causing seizures such as arteriovenous malformation (AVM) or metabolic diseases.
