  • Title: [Pathological anatomy of hemorrhages into the cerebellum of fetuses and newborn infants].
    Author: Vlasiuk VV.
    Journal: Arkh Patol; 1984; 46(10):58-64. PubMed ID: 6542347.
    Abstract:
    Fifty-eight (6,2%) cases of hemorrhages into the cerebellum (HC) that were found among 899 perinatal and neonatal necropsies were studied; hemorrhages less than 0,5 cm in diameter were not included into the material examined. HC were prodominantly observed in premature newborns. The main cause of death of newborns and intranatally dying fetuses with HC was a skull trauma occurring during delivery. HC were subdivided into 3 groups: 1) those provoked by pressure on the upper surface of cerebellum hemispheres followed by vessel compression; 2) those provoked by blood stasis in cerebellum venae as a result of a venous circulation damage in the brain and sinuses; 3) HC resulting from the blood transport from the fourth ventricle of the brain during intraventricular hemorrhages. The morphology of each HC type is described. The importance of HC recording for the determination of a direct cause of death is stressed.
