Prevalence and Evolution of Intracranial Hemorrhage in Asymptomatic Term Infants
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Subdural hemorrhage (SDH) is often associated with infants experiencing nonaccidental injury (NAI). A study of the appearance and natural evolution of these birth-related hemorrhages, particularly SDH, is important in the forensic evaluation of NAI. The purpose of this study was to determine the normal incidence, size, distribution, and natural history of SDH in asymptomatic term neonates as detected by sonography (US) and MR imaging within 72 hours of birth. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Birth history, delivery method, duration of each stage of labor, pharmaceutic augmentation, and complications during delivery as well as postnatal physical examination were recorded. Brain MR imaging and US were performed on 101 asymptomatic term infants at 3–7 days, 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months. Clinical follow-up at 24 months was recorded. RESULTS: Forty-six neonates had SDH by MR imaging within 72 hours of delivery. SDH was seen in both vaginal and cesarean deliveries. All neonates were asymptomatic, with normal findings on physical examination. All 46 had supratentorial SDH seen in the posterior cranium. Twenty (43%) also had infratentorial SDH. US detected 11 of the 20 (55%) infratentorial SDHs and no supratentorial SDH. Most SDHs present at birth were ≤3 mm and had resolved by 1 month, and all resolved by 3 months on MR imaging. Most children with SDHs had normal findings on developmental examinations at 24 months. CONCLUSION: SDH in asymptomatic term neonates after delivery is limited in size and location.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
