Summary
Cerebellar hemorrhage in preterm newborns and seen only on MRI may be associated with neurologic abnormalities but the outcome is generally favorable. Cerebellar hemorrhage detected by cranial ultrasound has a poor prognosis. Three case reports of intrauterine herpes simplex virus infection (HSV) and 61 cases published between 1963 and 2009 are reviewed by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX. HSV was cultured in 54 (84%) cases (HSV2 from 36 and HSV1 from 10).
