| A newborn in the reanimation unit with PVL (periventricular leukomalacia) and polyserositis, ultrasound for fluid was prescribed. On ultrasound, there is a pocket fluid in the abdominal cavity, also a little amount of fluid, most likely in the pericardial cavity, near the right heart ventricle (pericarditis?) with visual signs of compression, and then something heterogeneous in the region of the apex of the heart in oblique view, like a pocket fluid, was evident, nevertheless, most likely this is the wall of the right ventricle, if anyone noticed, the left ventricular myocardium looks more echogenic (endocardial LV fibroelastosis?), thats why such visualization present. external link | |
