Question
What are the symptoms of intracranial hemorrhage in newborns?
Answer
Intracranial hemorrhage in newborns is a common neonatal brain injury, usually caused by hypoxia or birth trauma, with a higher incidence in premature infants. Symptoms typically appear within 1-2 days after birth and may include changes in consciousness, such as excessive excitement, drowsiness, or coma; ocular symptoms like fixed gaze, difficulty in eye movement, and nystagmus. Treatment principles include supportive therapy, seizure control, reduction of intracranial pressure, administration of drugs to restore brain cell function, hemostasis, and symptomatic treatment.
