Lateral ventricular effacement as an isolated sonographic finding in premature infants: prevalence and significance.
AJR Am J Roentgenol. 1995; (1): 155-9
The sonographic finding of effaced lateral ventricles in premature infants, defined as the absence of visible CSF within the lateral ventricles on both coronal and sagittal sonograms, may be cause to suspect diffuse cerebral edema, especially as published reference standards do not address this phenomenon. This investigation was undertaken to determine the prevalence and significance of effaced lateral ventricles without associated parenchymal abnormality (isolated lateral ventricular effacement, or ILVE) in premature infants.
