Longterm Outcome of Children With Neonatal Intra-Ventricular or Intra-Cranial Hemorrhage

Sponsor: Laniado Hospital

Summary

Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is the most commonly recognized cerebral lesion on ultrasound in extremely preterm infants. Papile classification is commonly used to grade the severity of IVH. Grade III-IV IVH and other lesions noted on ultrasound including periventricular leukomalacia (pvl) porencephaly, and ventriculomegaly are well Documented to be associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. However, the true impact of lower-grade IVH on the neurodevelopment of these extreme preterm infants has not been well described. Also Neurodevelopmental outcome for neonatal non-traumatic Intra Cranial Hemorrhage (ICH) is not well established. The aim of this study is to look retrospectively at babies with neonatal IVH or ICH and follow their radiological, cognitive, motor and functional outcomes. The study will focus on postnatal files, and on images performed as part of the child's follow-up during hospitalization and after discharge.
