Previous issue date: 2012-01-27 / Objectives : The objective of this study was to determine the frequency, type, and severity of cerebral lesions detected by transfontanellar ultrasonography in newborns exposed to crack during gestation.Materials and methods : This was a retrospective study, involving a review of the medical records of children born to crack-using mothers who were subjected to transfontanellar ultrasonography during their first days of life.Results : Transfontanellar ultrasonography revealed abnormalities in 45/129 newborns examined (34.9%). The changes detected were: subependymal cysts in 24 infants (18.6%), lenticulostriate vasculopathy in 18 infants (14%), subependymal hemorrhage in 9 infants (7%) and choroid plexus cysts in 9 infants (7%).Conclusion : All of the abnormalities found by ultrasound examination were discrete and likely without clinical significance for the babies. However, prospective studies, with a long period of tracking, are needed to determine whether there are consequences on the neurodevelopment of children with prenatal exposure to crack that appear at a later date. / Objetivos : Determinar a freq??ncia, o tipo e a severidade de les?es cerebrais detectadas por ultrassonografia transfontanelar em rec?m-nascidos expostos ao crack durante a gesta??o.Materiais e m?todos : Este foi um estudo retrospectivo, envolvendo revis?o dos prontu?rios m?dicos de rec?m-nascidos filhos de m?es usu?rias de crack, que realizaram ultrassonografia transfontanelar nos seus primeiros dias de vida.Resultados : A ultrassonografia transfontanelar revelou anormalidades em 45/129 rec?m-nascidos examinados (34,9%). As altera??es detectadas foram: cistos subependim?rios em 24 rec?m-nascidos (18,6%), vasculopatia lenticuloestriada em 18 (14%), hemorragias subependim?rias em 9 (7%) e cistos no plexo cor?ide em 9 (7%).Conclus?o : As anormalidades ultrassonogr?ficas encontradas podem ser consideradas discretas e normalmente n?o possuem significado cl?nico para os lactentes. Por?m, estudos prospectivos, com longo seguimento, s?o necess?rios para determinar se existem consequ?ncias tardias no neurodesenvolvimento de crian?as expostas pr?-natalmente ao crack.
