In a prospective study 306 high-risk infants with a birth-weight between 890 to 4900 gm were examined by means of cerebral ultrasound scanning and about a time of two years the psychomotor development was evaluated. 145 patients (47.4%) were classified as intracerebral haemorrhages. The strongest relation with the event of bleeding was found for the high level of PCO2. With increased severity of the intracranial haemorrhage was associated a worse prognosis of development in the first two years of life. The type I-haemorrhage showed in 72.2%, the types III/IV in yet only 42.9% a development without psychomotor disorders.
