    AbstractThe charts and cranial ultrasounds of 29 infants treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for respiratory insufficiency secondary to meconium aspiration syndrome, primary pulmonary hypertension, congenital diaphragmatic hernia and/or sepsis were examined to identify ultrasound abnormalities. Seventeen (58.6%) developed extra-axial fluid collections, only two of which were progressive. Ten (34.5%) developed evidence of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH): seven caudate, one each in the thalamus, parietal and occipital lobes. Eight (27.65%) of the neonates had seizures while on ECMO, 5 of whom had concurrent ICH.
