DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUE FOR VENTRICULOMEGALY AND HYDROCEPHALY IN FOETUSES AND NEWBORNS

摘要

FIELD: medicine. ^ SUBSTANCE: ventricular cerebral system is examined in fatal foetuses and fatal newborns of 22-27 weeks of gestation, namely immunohistochemistry of a germinal matrix within a postcornu is carried out by estimating an expression level of S-100 protein shown by stained neuroblast count. If observing 30 % or less of neuroblasts, ventriculomegaly is diagnosed, while stained 50% or more neuroblasts show hydrocephaly. ^ EFFECT: use of the declared technique enables cellular differentiation of ventriculomegaly and hydrocephaly in fatal foetuses and fatal newborns of 22-27 weeks of gestation. ^ 4 ex
