Cerebral haemorrhage due to birth injury
Definition
Cerebral haemorrhage due to birth injury refers to haemorrhage occurring within the ventricles, germinal matrix, choroid plexus or the cerebral parenchyma as a result of birth trauma, and is commonly accompanied by extracerebral contusion and/or bleeding haemorrhage in the scalp. Skull fracture(s) are often associated. Birth trauma may produce either direct laceration and contusion of tissue or distortion of the vascular plexus resulting in hemorrhagic infarction. A common clinical presentation includes seizures, changing levels on consciousness or a combination of both.
