Abstract
Impaired growth of the corpus callosum (CC) and cerebellar vermis (CV) is associated with poorer neurodevelopmental outcomes in preterm infants. However, references on the postnatal growth rate of the CC and CV by sonography are limited. The aim of this study is to assess the normal linear growth of CC and CV using a serial cranial ultrasound.
