Abstract
Ventricular dilatation after periventricular/intraventricular hemorrhage (PIVH) is a more common complication than was assumed before the advent of ultrasound. In this prospective study based on 264 ultrasonic head scans, the true incidence of ventriculomegaly was investigated in two groups of preterm infants with PIVH. The major incidence of PIVH in babies with less than 34 weeks of gestation (p less than 0.05) was confirmed. Statistical analysis of the follow-up examinations showed that the degree of ventriculomegaly correlated well with the extent of the cerebral-intraventricular hemorrhage (X2 test, p less than 0.002).
