Premature babies who require intensive care frequently have head ultrasounds to rule out neurological complications of prematurity, such as bleeding in the brain (intraventricular hemorrhage, or IVH) or injury to the white matter of the brain surrounding the ventricles (periventricular leukomalacia, or PVL).

A doctor also might order a head ultrasound for a baby with:

  • an abnormal increase in head size
  • a bulging fontanel
  • any neurological symptoms

Doctors order head ultrasounds when there's a concern about neurological problems in an infant. Premature babies who require intensive care frequently have head ultrasounds to rule out neurological complications of prematurity, such as bleeding in the brain (intraventricular hemorrhage, or IVH) or injury to the white matter of the brain surrounding the ventricles (periventricular leukomalacia, or PVL).

A doctor also might order a head ultrasound for a baby with:

  • an abnormal increase in head size
  • a bulging fontanel
  • any neurological symptoms

Head ultrasounds can generally help in diagnosing:

  • bleeding in the brain tissue or ventricles
  • hydrocephalus (excess fluid in the brain and ventricles)
  • a mass in the brain, such as a tumor or cyst
  • suspected complications of meningitis
