VARA CUESTA, Omar León et al. Intracranial hemorrhage in a term infant. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2006, vol.10, n.1, pp. 71-80. ISSN 1561-3194.

Cerebrovascular haemorrhagic accidents in term infant constitute an important feature of mortality in neonatal stage. A case of a male normoweight term infant who was born from a dystocic delivery in pelvis presentation (late-head dystocia) with a severe asphyxia at birth was analyzed. The infant required resuscitation techniques and mechanical ventilation, noting the clinical manifestations of haemorrhagic vascular accident, which could be proved through imaging studies carried out. At the age of one month the patient was discharged from the hospital with no compromise of vital functions and multidisciplinary follow-up. At the age of 3 months he showed specific sequels of retardation in psychomotor development and neurosensory disorders. Rehabilitation is been carried out with the objective of improving motor activity and psychosocial projection.
