Abstract
Ultrasound (US) is an invaluable tool for evaluating the neonatal spine, offering a non-invasive, cost-effective, and radiation-free imaging alternative. This article reviews the indications, techniques, and sonographic features of congenital and acquired spinal pathologies in neonates. Common indications include the evaluation of atypical sacral dimples, spinal anomalies such as tethered cord and syringomyelia, congenital tumours like sacrococcygeal teratomas, and post-traumatic conditions such as spinal hematomas. Detailed sonographic spine anatomy, variants, and ultrasound guidance for interventions like lumbar puncture are also discussed. By enabling early diagnosis, US is crucial in guiding clinical management, especially in pediatric populations with spinal disorders.
