Abstract
The advent of the neonatal intensive care unit has brought improved survival for all neonates, particularly those suffering from what has been recognized as a common problem: neonatal intraventricular hemorrhage. Neonatal intensivists have become very familiar with the complications of neonatal intraventricular hemorrhage, and the associated problems with intracranial pressure management. From their experience at The New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, the authors have made an effort to identify similarities and differences between babies whose elevated intracranial pressure was successfully managed medically as opposed to those for whom diversion of ventricular fluid was necessary.
