    Abstract:
    The findings of CT-follow-up-studies on a group of 94 infants, who had suffered intracranial hemorrhage, were correlated with the clinical and neurological outcome. Purpose of the retrospective study was to work out prognostic criteria dependent on the typ and location of the hemorrhage. Among the infants with intraventricular hemorrhage, there was a direct relationship between the severity of the hemorrhage and major handicaps on the one hand and the mortality rate on the other hand. Neurologic sequelae were noted in 16.5% of the infants with tentorial hemorrhages, in 56% of the infants with intracerebral hemorrhages and 37.5% of the infants with subarachnoid hemorrhages. Our results indicate, that the outcome of infants with intracranial hemorrhages is not dependent on the typ and severity of the bleeding only, but is also influenced by additional factors, like perinatal asphyxia.
