This paper presents the range of normal blood flow velocity in different cerebral veins in early infancy measured by transfontanelle pulsed Doppler ultrasonography. The blood flow velocity of the internal jugular vein (38 infants), internal cerebral vein (28 infants), and straight sinus (18 infants) in a group of clinically stable neonates and young infants (body weight 1060-3750 g, age 1-86 d, gestational age 28-41 wk) is specified. The time mean of maximum velocity (Vma) of internal jugular vein was 8.4 +/- 4.7 cm/s, of internal cerebral vein 5.5 +/- 1.6 cm/s, and of straight sinus 12.6 +/- 7.8 cm/s. While the variability between infants was high, the reproducibility of the method was in the range of 4.4-10.2% for Vma. This compares well with studies on cerebral arteries and offers a noninvasive approach to the study of the venous cerebral hemodynamics in neonates undergoing intensive care.
