Changes in clinical presentation of term infants with intracranial hemorrhage.
The clinical course and outcome of eight term infants with intracranial hemorrhage are reported. Before computerized tomography became available, term infants with intracranial hemorrhage were usually diagnosed only at autopsy and the hemorrhage was associated with a trauamtic birth or severe asphyxia. In contrast, since the availability of computerized tomography, term infants with a diagnosis of intracranial hemorrhave have a non-traumatic delivery, present with seizures, and survive.
