[Incidence, evolution and prognosis of posthemorrhagic ventriculomegaly in a population of newborns of less than 33 weeks gestational age].

Abstract

Posthemorrhagic ventriculomegaly is one of the most important neurological problems encountered in the premature new-born. The aim of this study was to evaluate its incidence in a tertiary neonatal unit at Lille, France, to study its evolution, the risk of ventriculoperitoneal shunt and the neurodevelopmental outcome.
