Delayed-onset intraventricular hemorrhage in a full-term neonate: report of one case.
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in the full-term neonates is not as common as in the premature neonates. We describes a full-term neonate who presented with delayed onset of intraventricular hemorrhage and fever. Her perinatal and delivery course were uncomplicated. Clinically, omphalitis was found on admission. However, no definite etiology of IVH was discovered. Follow-up brain sonography at the age of seven months revealed complete resolution of IVH. The prognosis of the patient was good on follow-up, which was comparable with other reports.
