From: A review of the current treatment methods for posthaemorrhagic hydrocephalus of infants
MR images of the head of a very low birth weight infant nine days after birth. A: Sagittal T1-weighted MRI showing layering of the intraventricular haemorrhage within the venticles and in the posterior fossa (arrows). B: CISS (Constructive Interference in the Steady State) sequence giving heavily T2-weighted high resolution images with excellent fluid contrast demonstrating the dilated ventricular system in white and the dependent haemorrhage (arrows). C: T1-weighted axial MRI scan showing layering of the intraventricular haemorrhage (arrows) and a left scalp haematoma (arrowhead). D: T2-weighted axial MRI showing layering of the intraventricular haemorrhage (arrows) and a left scalp haematoma (arrowhead). The most striking features on these scans are hydrocephalus with intracranial haemorrhage, which is seen layering within the lateral ventricles.
