Posthaemorrhagic hydrocephalus in newborn term infants.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intraventricular haemorrhage may occur de novo in previously well, term newborn infants. In a group of six neonates a high incidence of posthaemorrhagic hydrocephalus was found. Posthaemorrhagic hydrocephalus may be more common in full term newborn infants than previously recognised.

Early prognosis of low birthweight infants treated for progressive posthaemorrhagic hydrocephalus.
Twelve low birthweight preterm infants were treated for progressive posthaemorrhagic hydrocephalus by ventriculoperitoneal diversion of cerebrospinal fluid. At a median postnatal age of 20 months, 6 were moderately or severely retarded. Convulsions in the first week of life were associated with a poorer prognosis and frequent taps to remove cerebrospinal fluid with a better outcome.
متن کاملChanges in cerebral artery blood flow velocity after intermittent cerebrospinal fluid drainage.
Doppler ultrasound was used to measure blood flow velocity in the anterior cerebral artery of six premature infants with posthaemorrhagic hydrocephalus, before and after intermittent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage, on 23 occasions. There was a significant increase in mean blood flow velocity after the drainage procedures (+5.6 cm/s, 95% confidence interval +2.9 to +8.3 cm/s), which was acco...
متن کاملPhase I study of intraventricular recombinant tissue plasminogen activator for treatment of posthaemorrhagic hydrocephalus.
AIM Phase I study to evaluate intraventricular fibrinolytic treatment with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) as a method of clearing blood from the cerebrospinal fluid, and thus preventing permanent hydrocephalus. METHODS Twenty two preterm infants, aged 7 to 26 days, with progressive posthaemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (ventricular width > 4 mm over 97th centile) received on...
متن کاملProcollagen I C-propeptide in the cerebrospinal fluid of neonates with posthaemorrhagic hydrocephalus.
BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of posthaemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHHC) following intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) in premature infants includes a fibroproliferative reaction leading to arachnoidal fibrosis, ultimately causing malresorption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) at the arachnoid villi. AIMS To determine whether an increased concentration of the carboxyterminal propeptide of type I proco...
متن کاملManagement of posthaemorrhagic hydrocephalus with a subcutaneous ventricular catheter reservoir in premature infants.
A subcutaneous ventricular catheter reservoir was inserted between the 16th and 28th (median 23rd) day of life in 13 premature infants (median birth weight 1220 g, range 780-2110) for the treatment of posthaemorrhagic hydrocephalus. Aspiration of cerebrospinal fluid (median 6 ml, range 1-15) one to four (median two) times a day for 6 to 90 (median 40) days controlled the hydrocephalus as judged...
