IMPORTANCE Low-grade periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage is a common neurologic morbidity among extremely low-gestational-age neonates, yet the outcomes associated with this morbidity are not fully understood. In a contemporary multicenter cohort, we evaluated the impact of such hemorrhages on early (18-22 month) neurodevelopmental outcomes of extremely premature infants. OBJECTIVE To...

The frequency, distribution, and appearance of corpus callosum injuries were evaluated with MR and CT in a prospective study of 78 patients with acute (n = 63) and chronic (n = 15) head injuries. Traumatic lesions of the corpus callosum were detected in 47% of patients. MR was significantly (p less than .001) more sensitive than CT in the detection of callosal injuries. MR and CT visualized 100...

Intracranial hemorrhage is a serious cause of morbidity and mortality in the neonate. Subgaleal, subdural, subarachnoid, and intraventricular hemorrhage have varying pathophysiology, but each can have serious long-term consequences. This article reviews the pathophysiology, presentation, and outcomes for intracranial hemorrhage in the newborn, as well as potential therapeutic interventions.

Background: We introduce a new catheter-based minimally invasive approach via frontal tuber for removing hypertensive intraventricular hemorrhage(IVH), and further compare its treatment efficacy with conventional external ventricular drainage (EVD). Methods: This study is prospective and randomized. Sixty cases of secondary intraventricular cast hemorrhage patients were randomly divided into tw...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intraventricular extension of hemorrhage is a predictor of poor outcome in intracerebral hemorrhage, and iron overload contributes to brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage. The current study investigated the role of iron in ventricular dilatation and neuronal death in a rat model of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). METHODS There were 2 parts in this study. First...
