Sonographic diagnosis of congenital brain malformations: the Ilorin experience.
[hydrocephalus with stenosis of the aqueduct of sylvius]
A
retrospective
study
was
done
to
determine
the
incidence
of
congenital
malformation
of
the
brain
among
African
infants
over
a
5
year
period
.
Transfontanelle
ultrasound
(
US
)
was
performed
on
98
infants
consisting
of
45
males
and
53
females
.
The
mean
age
was
2
.
6
months
(
range
1
-
11
months
)
.
Congenital
malformation
was
present
in
25
.
5
%
of
the
98
cases
studied
,
most
of
which
were
associated
with
hydrocephalus
.
Cerebral
aqueduct
stenosis
was
the
commonest
congenital
anomaly
encountered
and
was
found
in
24
%
of
case
.
This
study
shows
that
transfontanelle
US
is
a
useful
tool
for
diagnosis
of
congenital
brain
malformations
in
infants
.
