The CT/MRI brain findings and sequelae of intracranial hemorrhage resulting from traumatic breech and vacuum delivery of 16 term newborn infants are presented. Eleven infants were vacuum extracted, while the remaining five infants were delivered breech. Except for three breech-delivered infants who had intraventricular hemorrhage, the location and nature of hemorrhage were similar in both groups. Nine of the 11 vacuum-extracted babies showed complete resolution of hemorrhage on follow-up examination. None of the breech cases had a normal outcome. All five of the latter group had hydrocephalus, and one case each demonstrated porencephaly and encephalomalacia.
本文呈现了16例足月新生儿因臀位产和负压吸引分娩导致颅内出血的CT/MRI脑部检查结果及后遗症。11例婴儿为负压吸引助产，其余5例为臀位产。除3例臀位产婴儿发生脑室内出血外，两组出血的部位和性质相似。11例负压吸引助产的婴儿中有9例在随访检查中出血完全吸收。所有臀位产病例均预后不良。后一组的5例婴儿均患有脑积水，各有1例出现孔洞脑和脑软化。
