[Diagnosis and follow-up studies by computed tomography in hemorrhage of germinal matrix of newborns (author's transl)].

The possibilities of computed tomography in diagnosis and follow-up of cerebral hemorrhage in newborn are demonstrated. The type of bleeding is classified into periventricular, peri- and intraventricular; peri-, intraventricular and intracerebral hemorrhage and in combination with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Among our cases highly affected are children with asphyxia, pathological course of pregnancy and preterm infants with a birth weight less than 1500 g. Special attention is taken to complications such as hydrocephalus shown by follow-up studies.
