Popis: Abstract The incidence and clinical distribution of intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) in neonates at risk of cerebral hypoxia–ischaemia have not been reported in specific studies. Based on conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) versus susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI), this study aimed to analyse the occurrence of asymptomatic ICH in newborns with or without risk of cerebral hypoxia–ischaemia and to accumulate objective data for clinical evaluations of high-risk neonates and corresponding response strategies. 317 newborns were included. MRI revealed that the overall incidence of ICH was 59.31%. The most common subtype was intracranial extracerebral haemorrhage (ICECH) which included subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and subdural haemorrhage (SDH). ICECH accounted for 92.02% of ICH. The positive detection rate of ICECH by SWI was significantly higher than that by T1WI. The incidence of total ICH, ICECH and SAH was greater among children who were delivered vaginally than among those who underwent caesarean delivery. Asymptomatic neonatal ICH may be a common complication of the neonatal birth process, and SWI may improve the detection rate. Transvaginal delivery and a weight greater than 2500 g were associated with a high incidence of ICECH in neonates. The impact of neonatal cerebral hypoxia–ischaemia risk factors on the occurrence of asymptomatic ICH may be negligible.
