Abstract

Three newborns with posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus after fetal cerebral intraventricular hemorrhage are presented. In all 3 patients hydrocephalus internus was already prenatally diagnosed. Cerebral ultrasound postnatally performed revealed findings of old cerebral intraventricular hemorrhage. Severe factor VIII deficiency was found in one of the patients. The possible connexion of fetal intraventricular hemorrhage with coagulopathy of the fetus has not yet been defined.
