Linear branching echogenicities in the thalamus or basal ganglia have been reported in infants with several genetic and nongenetic disorders. In this article, we report 2 cases of newborns with a neurosonographic diagnosis of thalamic/basal ganglia vasculopathy and karyotype analysis showing pericentric inversion of chromosome 2. To our knowledge, there has been no previous mention of an association between these entities. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound 33:146–148, 2005
