Brain abnormalities in XXXX on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: sonographic and CT findings.

The findings of cranial sonography performed before and during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in 50 near-term @entity1 and CT findings after ECMO in 18 of those @entity1 are reported. @entity548 is uncommon in @entity1 being considered for ECMO: @entity548 was seen in one case and @entity45 possibly due to in utero @entity548 was seen in five cases. @entity519 ischemic @entity63 is more common: severe @entity2657 was seen in two cases, occipital @entity385 in one case, and mild @entity2657 in 17 cases. During ECMO, sonograms showed that the @entity548 in @entity1 with small @entity548 or cyst before ECMO did not extend while on ECMO. Typical germinal matrix/intraventricular @entity548 was seen uncommonly (three cases). Unusual @entity548 did occur. @entity2806 was more common: @entity548 was seen in three cases, severe @entity2657 in three cases, and @entity1188 in three cases. @entity2806 probably occurs before ECMO, with a delay in visualization. CT after ECMO detected additional abnormalities, particularly peripheral areas of @entity548 and @entity1188 not visible on sonograms, and is now being performed on all @entity1 . More emphasis should be placed on better screening of @entity1 being considered for ECMO treatment to identify irreversible @entity1545 , not just @entity548 .
