Head growth and neurodevelopmental outcome in neonates with intracranial haemorrhage and leukomalacia.
Head growth was correlated with outcome in 12 infants with major intracranial haemorrhages and in 9 with extensive cystic leukomalacia. Decreasing head growth was associated with a poor neurodevelopmental outcome whereas a normally growing head did not necessarily correlate with a normal outcome.
