When assessing the occipital (posterior) horn of the LV

(place probe at mid/back of head)

38
Q

When would we image via the mastoid fontanelle?

A

When assessing the posterior fossa/cerebellum

(place probe just behind ear)

39
Q

When would we image via the superior SAG sinus?

A

When assessing the midline venous sinus + want to doppler for patency

(place probe in SAG at anterior fontanelle)
