| Abstract |
|
Serial neurosonographic examinations were performed in 34 low birth weight infants who were
admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of Yong-Dong Severance Hospital. Among them, 14 (41
%)were found to have periventicular-intraventricular hemorrhage. The initial hemorrhage occured in
the first three days of life among 71% infants. After initial hemorrhage, hemorrhage was decreased
in size and thereafter absorbed. Fourteen (44%) infants demonsrated cysts in subependymal lining of
lateral ventricle. The cysts found from 31 days to 60 days of life in 67% infants at follow-up
neurosonographic studies. Seven (20%) infants have cyst without evidence of preiventricular-
intraventricular hemorrhage at initial studies.
