Cognitive and Neurological Outcome of Preterm Infants at the Age of 5-8 Years with Post-Haemorrhagic Ventricular Dilatation Requiring Neurosurgical Intervention

Abstract

Background: Post-haemorrhagic ventricular dilatation is not necessarily associated with an unfavourable outcome. Preterm infants who develop progressive PHVD in the absence of associated parenchymal lesions may have a normal neurodevelopmental outcome.
