Cranial sonography provides a noninvasive, portable method for imaging the infant brain. This study describes the time-dependent, sonographic findings of infantile cerebral infarction, as well as computed tomographic (CT) scan and neuropathologic confirmation. Three hundred ninety-five infants under 18 months of age were sonogrammed over a period of 18 months. Three infants were diagnosed by cranial sonography and confirmed by CT scan and/or autopsy to have acute ischemic cerebral infarcts. The cases were followed with serial cranial sonograms for up to 18 months of age. The acute sonographic findings included a hyperechoic zone around the infarcted tissue. The subacute infarct had a checkerboard pattern, while the chronic infarcts were anechoic. (J Child Neurol 1988;3:105-109).
