Introduction: the study of ultrasonographic variables of the encephalic ventricular system in the newborn is useful to standardize parameters in growth, detect deviations from normality and evaluate their development, which is a priority in primary health care.
Objective: to assess the level of correlation between ultrasonographic variables of the lateral ventricles with anthropometric measurements in healthy newborns at birth.
Method: a descriptive, observational, and cross-sectional study of ultrasonographic variables by trans-fontanel and anthropometric ultrasound in124 infants at birth, at Hijas de Galicia Maternity Hospital from May to July 2015. The statistical method of canonical correlations was used at 95% of certainty.
Results: in male sex, sagittal mid-right section showed moderate values of correlation between the height of the frontal horn and the cephalic circumference, slight between height of the body and weight according to the correlation coefficient (0.67). For the left side, correlation coefficient (0.52), light values are found between atrium height and weight. In females, right side, correlation coefficient (0.65), the height of the atrium and cephalic circumference with moderate values is highlighted. On the left side, correlation coefficient (0.65) presented moderate values for the height of the atrium and height, light between the heights of the frontal horn with the cephalic circumference.
Conclusions: at birth moderate and slight correlations between some of the basic and craniofacial anthropometric variables with the ultrasound of the lateral ventricles to the paramedian sagittal section were observed.
