Ultrasound of the Lumbosacral Spine in Infants

About

The ultrasound of the lumbosacral spine in infants is a non-invasive method used to examine the lower parts of the spine and spinal cord. This examination is most commonly performed in newborns with certain indications, such as sacral dimples, hairiness, or asymmetry in the lower back area, and helps detect any spinal or cord anomalies, such as spina bifida or other developmental deviations.

The lumbosacral spine ultrasound is performed in the early months of life, while the bones are not yet fully developed, allowing for a clear view of the spinal structures. Due to its safety and simplicity, this examination is essential for early diagnosis and monitoring of potential neurological issues in the youngest patients.

Verified patient
Procedure: Vaccination
Hospital: Sabol

I was in the Balkans and needed a clinic to vaccinate my baby. I found Zagreb to be very easy to communicate with considering I do not know the local language. The clinic had the same vaccinations I would get in Australia, which gave me peace of mind. The doctor was very thorough during the consultation, further assuring me that my baby is getting the best care. If you're a visitor from abroad I would definitely recommend this clinic as they are at western, modern standards.
