Purpose: The main aim of this study is the definition of normal doppler values of main intracranial arteries in premature neonates Methods and Materials: 68 premature (33–38 weeks gestation) neonates (32 males and 36 females) aged 4–23 days old (mean12,25) have been examined using transcranial doppler. All neonates were clinically normal. Any health problem apparent after delivery was successfully treated. 5 main intracranial arteries were sampled in the supine position via the anterior fontanelle: intracranial segment of ICA, anterior (ACA), middle (MCA) and posterior (PCA) cerebral arteries, and basilar artery…
