Fig. 10: Extraaxial, intraventricular and parenchymal hemorrhages in 3-day-old female post-complicated vaginal delivery presenting with seizures
From: Mechanical birth-related trauma to the neonate: An imaging perspective
Axial non-contrast head CT (a) and coronal T2 MR image (b) show a large left temporal parenchymal hemorrhage (arrows), with an overlying small subdural hemorrhage (white arrowheads). Small foci of subarachnoid hemorrhage noted along the posterior fossa (white arrowheads on a), with susceptibility artifact on axial susceptibility-weighted image (SWI) (c). Axial SWI MR image (d) through the left temporal hemorrhage also demonstrates blood products within occipital horns of bilateral lateral ventricles and trace subdural hemorrhage along the tentorium (white arrowheads). Follow-up MR at 3 months (not shown) did not demonstrate an underlying left temporal parenchymal mass or vascular malformation
