Overview

Review evaluates neuroimaging modalities for detecting germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage in preterm infants, highlighting the complementary roles of ultrasound and MRI.

Key Points

To review the clinical utility of diagnostic neuroimaging modalities for the early detection, grading, and monitoring of germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage and related complications in preterm neonates.
Reviewed neuroimaging practices within the neonatal intensive care unit focused on very preterm infants.
Evaluated the diagnostic utility of serial cranial ultrasonography alongside brain magnetic resonance imaging for identifying intracranial bleeding and parenchymal injury.
Serial cranial ultrasonography serves as the primary bedside tool, facilitating early diagnosis, grading, and monitoring of progressive complications such as post-hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation.
Brain magnetic resonance imaging provides superior detection of subtle temporal or occipital bleeding, cerebellar hemorrhage, and concurrent white matter injury, offering key prognostic information.
Severe germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage, particularly when accompanied by periventricular hemorrhagic infarction, remains strongly linked to adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes.
