[2-dimensional echoencephalography in childhood: method, indications and personal results]

Two-dimensional echoencephalography has become an important diagnostic tool in paediatric neurology. The clinical value of two-dimensional echoencephalography in children is discussed on the basis of the results of 669 own ultrasonic examinations. Improvements in equipment and handling, as well as increasing experience enabled a firm diagnosis in most cases. However knowledge of ultrasound morphology and correlation of these pictures with clinical findings and prognosis are necessary for the successful application of this new method.
