title: [The diagnostic value of the EEG in peri- and intraventricular haemorrhage in the newborn (author's transl)].
abstract: EEGs were performed in 39 newborns with intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) who subsequently died and compared with a series of 37 neonates who did not have an IVH. Abnormalities were more common in the IVHgroup. The most significant findings were the presence of electrical storms and that it was not possible to assess the gestational age. Positive rolandic spikes were not significantly more frequent in the IVH group. None of the EEG changes seem to be specific for IVH, but the presence of any of these in a premature infant makes an IVH highly probable.
