U
ltra-sonography of newborns, born long before termand newborns with extremely low birthweight or other significant pathology
has become a gold standard on the neonatal pathology units and NICU. It is a rather simple method and non-invasive; it does not
bring the increased risk to the newborns, and is providing much information about the condition of the patient, the course of disease,
the effectiveness of the treatment and further predictions. However, only 10–15% children are born below 35
th
week of pregnancy
and are being hospitalized on the II and III degree of neonatal care units. It will leave the majority of children left without ultrasound
diagnostics, because very few centres of first degree of neonatal care are conducting that kind of diagnostics apart from very rigorous
recommendations, acknowledging that these children are “from the assumption” healthy. Perhaps, such an assumption is not fully
correct and many children from so-called physiologic pregnancy are burdened with certain diseases, which could be to recognize
and be possibly healed, if all children were examined. In this paper we have studied ultrasound examinations of the central nervous
system and the abdominal cavity carried out on children born after 35th week of pregnancy at the Neonatal Unit of the Hospital in
Płońsk (first level of neonatal care) from 01.01.2014 to 02.12.2014.
