PURPOSE To describe the ophthalmoscopic features and natural history in a case series of eyes that developed intraocular hemorrhages associated with perinatal distress and to evaluate their clinical courses. METHODS A retrospective chart review of 289 neonates with a medical history of perinatal distress was conducted. Among these 289 patients (578 eyes), 29 eyes of 17 neonates were found to ...

Aim . To assess the local influence of intracranial hemorrhages various types on postmortem cranioencephalic temperature by means finite element modeling field head. Methods The geometry and heat exchange human head anatomical structures were simulated using ELCUT 6.5 software application based method, both in absence presence meningeal intraventricular hemorrhages. Results A twodimensional mod...

PURPOSE The present study investigates whether retinal neovascularization (NV) and apoptosis are altered in MCP-1-deficient ((-/-)) mice in the OIR model. METHODS Postnatal day (P) 7 MCP-1(-/-) and C57BL/6 (B6) mice were exposed to 75% oxygen for 5 days and then recovered in room air. Immunostaining was performed to localize macrophages/microglia within retinal whole mounts and cross-sections...

Several considerations serve to exclude the study of retinal haemorrhage from the routine neurological assessment of the newborn: (1) the lack of any clearly demonstrated correlation between cerebral trauma and the incidence of retinal haemorrhage; (2) or even between subsequent ocular abnormalities and retinal haemorrhage; (3) the speedy absorption of retinal haemorrhage beginning before the i...

Using the anterior fontanelle as an acoustic window, high resolution gray scale sonography brain scans with mobile apparatus were obtained in 35 premature infants. The sonographic technique provided accurate assessment of ventricular size and detected the subependymal germinal matrix and intraventricular hemorrhages. Ventricular size measurements correlated closely with computed tomography (CT)...

Retinal hemorrhages in children occasionally accompany bacterial meningitis, usually due to hemophilus or meningococcal organisms. The hemorrhages may be intraretinal, usually in the posterior pole of the eye and few in number, or, more uncommonly, subhyaloid or vitreous. Pathogenesis may include vasculitis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, or intracranial hypertension. We report 2 cases...
