Resumo: |
Objectives : The objective of this study was to determine the frequency, type, and severity of cerebral lesions detected by transfontanellar ultrasonography in newborns exposed to crack during gestation.Materials and methods : This was a retrospective study, involving a review of the medical records of children born to crack-using mothers who were subjected to transfontanellar ultrasonography during their first days of life.Results : Transfontanellar ultrasonography revealed abnormalities in 45/129 newborns examined (34.9%). The changes detected were: subependymal cysts in 24 infants (18.6%), lenticulostriate vasculopathy in 18 infants (14%), subependymal hemorrhage in 9 infants (7%) and choroid plexus cysts in 9 infants (7%).Conclusion : All of the abnormalities found by ultrasound examination were discrete and likely without clinical significance for the babies. However, prospective studies, with a long period of tracking, are needed to determine whether there are consequences on the neurodevelopment of children with prenatal exposure to crack that appear at a later date. |
