[Clinico-ultrasonographic characteristics of peri- and intra- ventricular hemorrhages in newborn infants (prospective studies)].

As many as 117 premature and 59 full-term children with peri-intraventricular hemorrhages underwent cliniconeurosonographic studies. Peri-intraventricular hemorrhages (stages I, II, III and IV) in premature children and intraventricular in full-term ones were characterized echographically. The main differences between the echo-signs of peri-intraventricular hemorrhages as well as the common features of their complications were described in children of both the groups. The ++clinico-neuro-sonographic++ comparisons were made in the early neonatal period and in the period of long-term clinical sequels. The main clinico-ultrasonic criteria for the prognosis, gravity of CNS lesions associated with peri-intraventricular hemorrhages hae been presented.
