[Asphyxia and intracranial hemorrhage in high-risk neonates of various gestational ages].

The aim of this study was to compare the type and severeness of brain damage in vitally most endangered newborn infants of different gestational age. We retrospectively analyzed the records of 75 newborn infants treated and decreased at the Department of Intensive Care and Therapy of the Institute of Children's and Adolescents' Health Care in Novi Sad. Diagnoses of hypoxic-ischemic lesion and intracranial hemorrhage in the case of grade four PVH-IVH (periventricular hemorrhage-intraventricular hemorrhage) were established by ultrasonography of the brain and lumbar punction in the case of subarachnoid hemorrhage.

This is a report on a case of inborn methemoglobinemia. The disease has been diagnosed in the first week of infant's life. At first it was assumed it was a case of inborn heart defect because of expressed generalized cyanosis, but very soon it was excluded.
