A neonate with autoimmune thrombocytopenia presented with megacephaly and hydrocephalus. The cause remained obscure until hemosiderin-laden macrophages were found in the ventricular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), indicating prenatal intracranial hemorrhage. The literature on the diagnosis of intraventricular hemorrhage by the cytologic examination of CSF is reviewed and discussed. The cytologic evaluation of CSF may be helpful in cases of central nervous system dysfunction when the cause is obscure.
一名患有自身免疫性血小板减少症的新生儿出现巨头症和脑积水。病因一直不明，直到在脑室脑脊液（CSF）中发现含铁血黄素巨噬细胞，提示产前颅内出血。本文对通过脑脊液细胞学检查诊断脑室内出血的文献进行了综述和讨论。当病因不明时，脑脊液的细胞学评估可能有助于诊断中枢神经系统功能障碍的病例。
