title: Intracranial hemorrhage associated with congenital organic disease in neonates. Report of two cases and review of literature.
abstract: We report on two patients with intracranial hemorrhage associated with primary organic lesions who underwent surgery within 24 h after birth. The primary lesions in the two cases were an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and a brain tumor. The patient with AVM has exhibited normal growth without neurological deficits during follow-up over 18 years, but the patient with brain tumor has exhibited various degrees of neurological deficits and developmental retardation. Timely diagnosis and aggressive surgery may be required for the management of neonatal AVMs with intracerebral hemorrhage.
