Intracranial Hemorrhage in Term and Late-Preterm Neonates: An Institutional Perspective.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Distribution of intracranial hemorrhage in term and late-preterm neonates is relatively unexplored. This descriptive study examines the MR imaging-detectable spectrum of intracranial hemorrhage in this population and potential risk factors.

Materials and methods

Prevalence and distribution of intracranial hemorrhage in consecutive term/late-preterm neonates who underwent brain MR imaging between January 2011 to August 2018 were assessed. MRIs were analyzed to determine intracranial hemorrhage distribution (intraventricular, subarachnoid, subdural, intraparenchymal, and subpial/leptomeningeal), and chart review was performed for potential clinical risk factors.

Results

Of 725 term/late-preterm neonates who underwent brain MR imaging, intracranial
