  • Title: [Studies on the incidence of intracranial haemorrhages and their relation to the delivery by using the cranial computer-tomography (CT) in full-term newborns].
    Author: Brockerhoff P, Brand M, Ludwig B.
    Journal: Geburtshilfe Frauenheilkd; 1981 Sep; 41(9):597-600. PubMed ID: 6922057.
    Abstract:
    The cranial computer-tomography is a new non-invasive method for the diagnosis of perinatal intracranial haemorrhage. Among 80 neonates, who were examined by CT after delivery at term between the 3rd and 5th day of life, there were 43 newborns without any neurological symptom. These were examined voluntarily with the permission of their parents. A significant correlation between the CT-finding of an intracranial haemorrhage and the neurological observations was found, whereas there was no relation to the mode of delivery. Parity, birth weight, Apgar-score, cord blood-pH did not correspond to the CT-findings. An extremely short duration of the second stage of labor in spontaneous delivery seems to increase the risk of perinatal intracranial haemorrhage.
