Intraparenchymal Hemorrhage and Fungemia in a Preterm Neonate

Intraparenchymal hemorrhage, also known as grade IV hemorrhage, is a severe and uncommon type of intracranial hemorrhage. Intraparenchymal hemorrhage is associated with poor clinical outcomes; therefore, recognition and differentiation of the correct type of intracranial hemorrhage is important for the treatment of the patient. This case report demonstrates the use of real-time sonographic imaging in a preterm neonate as an effective method of diagnosing intraparenchymal hemorrhage and demonstrates a possible presence of fungemia.
