Abstract     Doppler ultrasound techniques have been used to monitor intracranial haemodynamics for many years. Information received helps us to understand pathophysiological events in the neonatal brain. The aim of the review article is to summarize the effects of some usual neonatal treatment on the cerebral circulation. Research studies are represented about effect on cerebral circulation during perinatal treatment with: magnesium sulfate, dexamethasone, surfactant, indomethacin, caffeine and aminophylline, after transfusion and phototherapy.Different types of therapy frequently used in neonatology must be considered from the view of haemodynamic changes in brain vessels. Effects could be crucial in the population of very premature tiny newborns, mostly compromised, for the development of both haemorrhagic and ischaemic injuries. Therefore, preventive stabilization of both the cerebral and systemic haemodynamics in the neonate is clearly a major clinical challenge for perinatal care.
