[Clinico-echographic criteria of early diagnosis of peri- and intraventricular hemorrhages in premature children].

The ++clinico-laboratory data and the results of neurosonographic studies were compared in 123 premature children to establish clinico-echographic criteria for early diagnosis of peri-intraventricular ++hemorrhages (PVH). The relationship was discovered between the rate and intensity of neurologic symptomatology depending on the gravity of hemorrhages. The totality of the symptoms revealed during neurologic examination of the newborn in combination with pathological changes in the laboratory parameters (the hematocrit level, analysis of the CSF) can serve the basis for a hypothetical diagnosis of PVH and making neurosonography to specify the diagnosis.
