Intracerebral haemorrhage is rare in childhood. We have reviewed the last 10 years' experience, in our referral area, of parenchymatous intracerebral haemorrhage in children from 1 month to 16 years of age. There were 27 cases, five of which were intracerebellar and two predominantly intraventricular. The commonest aetiology was vascular malformation (10), followed by haemorrhage into tumour (f...

Editorials Brain injury and ocular motor abnormalities in surviving preterm infants Advances in neonatal care over the past 10 years have resulted in increased survival of very immature preterm infants but there has not been a corresponding improvement in neurodevelopmental outcome. 1 Serious neonatal morbidity is associated with decreasing gestational age. The survival of infants of extremely ...

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...

Introduction: Intraventricular Haemorrhage is the most common forms of brain injury in preterm neonates1, more commonly seen smallest and neonates contributing to mortality, morbidity during time stay hospital. IVH among VLBW with incidence around 20-25% out which 2/3rd are mild moderate severity [grade 1-2]. Objective: To study intraventricular hemorrhage neonates. Methods: This a hospital bas...
