Prenatal diagnosis of intracerebellar hemorrhage: case report.
Evidence continues to accumulate that neurologic damage can occur during the antenatal period, unrelated to intrapartum events. We report a case in which intracerebellar hemorrhage was diagnosed by antepartum ultrasonographic examination. Correlation of fetal heart rate patterns, Apgar scores with neonatal course, and neuropathologic findings are presented. Medicolegal implications are discussed.
