Ultrasound of the Neonatal Spine
Purpose or Case Report: Sonography of the neonatal spine can be challenging and difficult to interpret. We composed a pictorial guide of a wide variety of variants and diseases for education and reference.
Methods & Materials: Illustrative cases including terminal ventricle, sacral dimple with tract, filum terminale lipoma, cauda equina cyst, tethered cord, meningomyelocele, lipomyelomenigocele, syrinx, diastematomyelia, and sacrococcygeal teratoma were chosen from the last ten years of neonatal sonography at our institution. MRI and pathologic correlation are included.
Results: Reviewing these cases provides sonographic experience of a wide variety of neonatal spinal disease and improves the accuracy of interpretation.
Conclusions: A pictorial review of a wide variety of diseases diagnosed with neonatal spinal sonography improves the accuracy of interpretation.
