Abstract

Computed tomography was used to evaluate subependymal and intraventricular hemorrhage in 11 formalin-fixed brains obtained at autopsy from newborn infants from a population with a known high incidence of cerebral hemorrhage. After scanning, the brains were step-sectioned at levels corresponding to those of the scans. Subependymal and/or intraventricular hemorrhage was demonstrated in 6 of the 11 brains. There was a very close correlation between the scan images and the gross pathological findings in the affected brains. The authors conclude that computed tomography is an accurate method for the diagnosis of neonatal cerebral hemorrhage.
