Intracranial hemorrhage significantly participate not only in neonatal mortality, but also in morbidity, which means serious motoric,
psychical and sensory handicaps for these children. It is more frequently seen in preterm than term infants. These two groups differ in
localization and etiology of it. In premature infants, the most frequent hemorrhagie is intraventricular and periventricular in location,
which is originating from vascular rupture within the terminal matrix, which is caused by changes of blood pressure or coagulopathies.
In term infants, it is usually subdural, subarachnois or subtentorial hemorrhage and it is most related to birth trauma, hypoxic-ischemic
events, coagulopathies or it is hemorrhage of undetermined cause.
