  • Title: CT detection and course of intracranial hemorrhage in premature infants.
    Author: Rumack CM, McDonald MM, O'Meara OP, Sanders BB, Rudikoff JC.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 1978 Sep; 131(3):493-7. PubMed ID: 98996.
    Abstract:
    Twenty neonates with a suspected intracranial hemorrhage were studied by computed tomography (CT). The exact site and extent of the hemorrhage in all infants were clearly demonstrated on serial CT scans. In intraventricular hemorrhage, a dense subependymal halo lined the ventricular system and could be recognized for up to 2 weeks. Discrete hemorrhage adjacent to the ventricular system also appeared as discrete nodules rather than as a diffuse hemorrhage. Blood in the ventricular system could be recognized up to 2 weeks when there were blood-cerebrospinal fluid levels. Hydrocephalus was a common sequela and was readily detectable before a measurable change in head size.
