Figure 4.
Mid-anterior coronal ultrasound scans show ventriculomegaly (dilated ventricles) in three different neonates with bacterial meningitis. Ventriculomegaly can be graded as mild (orange arrow), moderate (white arrow), severe (green arrow). Note the low level internal echoes in image c are consistent with debris/pus within the ventricles. The scans were performed using 7.5 MHz transducer through anterior fontanelle approach. The neonate in (C) is the same neonate as in Figure 5.
