    Abstract:
    The cranial computed tomography (CT) and outcome for 13 full-term neonates and 12 young infants with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) were studied. The full-term neonates had perinatal asphyxia or neurological signs such as seizures. All infants were breast-fed and showed bleeding diathesis. In the full-term neonates there was a high incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and hemorrhage around the falx. The location of the hemorrhage on CT and brain pathology suggested that the original site of IVH might be the choroid plexus vessels in the lateral ventricle or in the subependymal layer. On the other hand, the sites of ICH in infants were multifocal compared with those in full-term neonates. Subdural hemorrhage (SDH) was seen more frequently and IVH less frequently in infants than in full-term neonates. The cases with SDH frequently showed accompanying cerebral infarction followed by porencephaly. Thus, SDH with cerebral low density on CT may predict a poor prognosis.
