Sonographic evaluation of cerebral cortical mantle thickness in the fetus and neonate with hydrocephalus

P. W. Callen, B. E. Hashimoto and T. H. Newton

Sonographic measurement of the occipital, parietal, and frontal cerebral cortical mantle in ten neonates and ten fetuses with moderate to marked hydrocephalus was performed. In 11 of 14 (78.5 per cent) of the neonatal scans and in 10 of 12 (83 per cent) of the fetal scans, the occipital cortical mantle was less than that of the frontal cortical mantle. This difference varied from 1 to 16 mm. While prognostic data regarding compression of the cerebral mantle from ventricular dilatation exist, they are based upon measurements of the frontal-parietal and not the occipital mantle. Because of the difference observed, if these data are to be used in management, the comparable cerebral cortical mantle should be measured.
