ABSTRACT

Survivors of periventricular or intraventricular hemorrhage and isolated ventricular dilation showed a higher incidence of major developmental problems in the motor areas than matched control subjects in infancy. This effect is still seen, but less evident in early childhood. Problems were mainly related to grades III and IV periventricular or intraventricular hemorrhage and isolated ventricular dilation. The outcome of newborns with grades I and II hemorrhage was benign.
