Bleeding in the brain is still one of the main causes of perinatally acquired handicap, affecting one percent of full-term newborns. Recognition of brain-hemorrhage-related disorders during life and their differential diagnosis has been made possible by modern brain imaging techniques. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis, management, and prevention of intracranial hemorrhage in the full-term infant. Drawing on a wealth of data from neonatologists, pediatric radiologists, and pediatricians, the authors thoroughly describe perinatal intracranial events, covering anatomical landmarks, superficial and deep hemorrhage, birth trauma, vascular malformations, hemorrhagic diathesis, infection, tumors, and medico-legal implications. This volume will be an invaluable reference for neonatologists, pediatricians, pediatric radiologists, obstetricians, perinatal pathologists, neuropediatricians, and those involved in medical law.
