Normal sulcation and gyration in neonatal cranial sonography from 24 weeks gestational age until term: a pictorial essay

We present two images for each landmark week of gestation in this retrospectiv e multicentric review. The first image is in the coronal plane depicting the foramen of Monro and the third ventricle and the second image is in the sagittal plane at the level of the caudothalamic groove. The goal is to create an easy-to-use reference for the typical appearance and progression of t he normal sulcation and gyration of the neonatal brain on ultrasound, depending on the weekly gestational age. Having a reference atlas matched for gestational age is a helpful tool for screening a myriad of pathologies and is expected to help clinicians and radiologists involved in the care of neon ates monitor the development of the brain.Graphical Abstract
