Case Description: We present the case of a full-term baby with IVH. She had no perinatal problems or coagulation disorders. Sagittal views of neuroimages demonstrated that the IVH possibly extended from a subdural hemorrhage (SDH) in the infratentorial area via a perforated suprapineal recessus. This was barely visible on a conventional axial view of a computed tomographic scan. Conclusion: When the etiopathogenesis of IVH in a full-term baby with an uncomplicated delivery cannot be clearly defined, multi-directional and multi-modal neuroimaging may be useful.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/fb085e67-eaa2-422f-8ebb-d60835ac2232/featured/hero-1782420805033.png","publishDate":"2017-11-01T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.4103/sni.sni_139_17","categories":["Pediatric Neurosurgery","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/api/articles/fb085e67-eaa2-422f-8ebb-d60835ac2232/pdf"}
