Fetal intracranial hemorrhage: role of fetal MRI

Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging is an important tool in prenatal diagnosis of ICH, especially when US describes nonspecific intracranial abnormalities. GMH occurs more frequently and later in pregnancy than non-GMH. © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Fetal idiopathic intracranial hemorrhage: A case report

“…The present case was classified as grade 4 due to parenchymal injury. There are several case series diagnosed with USG or MRI in the antenatal period [4]. The first diagnosis of IVH in the intrauterine period was put by Kim et al in 1982 [5].…”

A Rare Case Report: Imaging Features of Cystic encephalomalacia of Infancy following Antenatally Detected Intraparenchymal and Intraventricular Hemorrhage

“…They concluded that MRI is an important tool in prenatal diagnosis of ICH, especially when US describes nonspecific intracranial abnormalities. 8 Differential diagnosis of cystic encephalomalacia include encephaloclastic porencephaly and hydrancephaly. The differentiation of an encephaloclastic porencephaly is differentiated from encephalomalacic cavity by its smooth walled, fluid filled cavity in communication with ventricular system while encephalomalacic cavity contains septations and irregular wall composed primarily of reactive astrocytes.…”

Cranial ultrasound findings in preterm germinal matrix haemorrhage, sequelae and outcome

“…Antenatal GMH-IVH is the most common type of foetal intracranial haemorrhage. [35][36][37] A cranial ultrasound (CUS) on admission allows pre-existing antenatal brain injury to be identified. If antenatal GMH-IVH occurred well before birth, residual findings (ventricular dilatation, intraventricular clots and strands, parenchymal defects) may be subtle (see other relevant paper in this issue).…”
