Popis: Introduction: High-risk neonates are always an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. They contribute to as high as 15% of all morbidities and mortalities in newborns independently. Hence identifying them early and appropriate management of these high-risk newborns is important. Cranial ultrasonography (CUS) is a reliable tool for detecting congenital and acquired abnormalities of the perinatal brain and the most frequent patterns of brain injury in preterm and full-term neonate. Aim& Objective: To study cranial ultrasound findings in high-risk neonates and to correlate the clinical manifestations with cranial ultrasonogram findings. Material& Method: This study was a prospective observational study carried out at Department of Paediatrics, SVPPGIP & SCBMCH between October 2019 to October 2021. Observation: The incidence of CUS abnormalities in high-risk neonates in the present study was 54.5%. There was a statistically significant correlation between birth asphyxia and abnormal CUSfindings(p
