| Popis: | High-resolution ultrasound is the screening method of choice for neonates with cutaneous signs of underlying spinal pathology. This examination does not require sedation, does not use radiation and is less expensive than computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Ideally, sonograms should be obtained as soon as the cutaneous marker (sacral dimple, hairy patch, skin-covered mass) is found at the newborn examination. |
