Premature newborn baseline screening head ultrasound exam on day of life 7

US of intraventricular hemorrhage
Coronal (above left), left sagittal (above middle) and right sagittal (above right) US of the head shows a round echogenic focus in the left germinal matrix. There was also an echogenic focus in the occipital horn of the left lateral ventricle (not provided). The ventricular system was normal in size. Followup exam from 2 weeks later (below) shows interval decrease in size and cavitation of the echogenic foci in the left germinal matrix and occipital horn of the left lateral ventricle. The ventricular system is minimally increased in size.

The diagnosis was left grade II neonatal intraventricular hemorrhage.
