    Abstract:
    A prospective brain sonograph study was performed on 134 preterm neonates with birth weight of less than 2500 gm. Ten (7.5%) infants had intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). The incidence of IVH in preterm neonates weighing less than 1500 gm was 13% and in neonates of less than 32 weeks gestation was 11.27%. Ninety percent of the IVH occurred within the first 72 hours of life. Prematurity, and hypoxia were considered as significant contributing factors for neonatal IVH. Six of the 7 infants with IVH grade I have a favorable neurological outcome. One of the 3 infants with IVH grade III has psychomotor delay. Routine brain sonograph study is considered practical and invaluable for diagnosis of IVH in preterm neonates.
