    Abstract:
    At most maternity units all premature infants are investigated by cranial ultrasonography as a routine. We examined the correlation between autopsy findings and ultrasound examination in 30 premature newborn. The ultrasound examination demonstrated bleeding in 17 (65%) of the 26 cases where autopsy had revealed bleeding. In these 17 patients good correlation was found between the degree of bleeding in the two examinations (ultrasonography and autopsy). In ten patients autopsy showed periventricular leucomalacia, but ultrasonography showed this condition in only two of these. In five cases bleeding made the examination and interpretation of the ultrasound findings difficult. In three patients ultrasonography was thought to be normal, while autopsy demonstrated periventricular leucomalacia.
