“…Most cases of intracranial haemorrhage in the newborn originate in the germinal matrix, are diagnosed within the first week of life, and occur in the premature baby (Papile et al, 1978;Skinner et al, 1982;Lebed et al, 1982;Shaver et al, 1992). The causative mechanism is unclear; it is proposed that the germinal matrix is friable and fragile until about 32-34 weeks' gestation, and is highly susceptible to hypoxaemia and anoxia, to acidosis disturbances, and to fluxes in blood pressure.…”

Prenatal sonographic diagnosis of intracranial haemorrhage: Report of a case with a sinusoidal fetal heart rate tracing, and review of the literature

The sinusoidal fetal heart rate pattern has been described in association with severe fetal anaemia, with fetal hypoxaemia, and with the administration of parenteral narcotics. Here, we report a case of decreased fetal movement in which a sinusoidal tracing was recorded. The sonographic diagnosis of a massive fetal intracranial haemorrhage was made. A non-interventive approach was taken and the fetus died soon after in utero. We review 28 previous cases in which the prenatal sonographic diagnosis of fetal intracranial haemorrhage was made, including the underlying maternal and fetal factors and neonatal outcomes. We propose that the sinusoidal tracing in this case was due to the intracranial bleed and suggest that fetal intracranial haemorrhage be considered in the sonographic evaluation of the fetus with a sinusoidal pattern.

“…Thus, ultrasound permits recognition of subependymal, intraventricular, and parenchymal haemorrhage [17] during the early neonatal period (1-3 days). This method has been considered to be as accurate as CT scanning for the diagnosis of ICH, and is much easier to use [18]. Large subdural hematomas can also be visualised with ultrasound.…”
