Question
The baby was just over 1 month old when someone pressed on the head, and symptoms such as vomiting and continuous crying have appeared. Various methods have been tried, but the symptoms have not subsided. What are the symptoms of neonatal intracranial hemorrhage?
Answer
Neonatal intracranial hemorrhage is a common form of brain injury, usually caused by hypoxia or birth trauma, with a higher incidence in premature infants. Symptoms include changes in consciousness, such as irritability, excessive excitement, apathy, drowsiness, and coma, as well as ocular symptoms like staring, difficulty in upward eye movement, and nystagmus. Treatment principles include supportive treatment, seizure control, reduction of intracranial pressure, use of drugs to restore brain cell function, hemostasis, and symptomatic treatment.
