Abstract

Sonography was used to investigate left‐right asymmetries of the brain in 66 human neonates with gestational ages of 28–44 wk. The body of the left lateral ventricle was larger than the right in 21 infants (31.8%), whereas the right was larger than the left in only four infants (6.1%) (p <0.001). Asymmetry of the lateral ventricles can be detected in the normal neonatal brain using sonography.
