These signs and symptoms of intracranial hemorrhage can include seizures, where the baby is moving its limbs synchronously and the way in which they should not be moving their limbs is important to notice as well.
These seizures can occur any time in the first days of life, and they frequently do not indicate that the baby is going to be damaged, but sometimes they do and they can be treated with medication.
Another thing that babies can get is they can be very very listless, not moving hardly at all. Sometimes these babies can get very very low blood pressure and need to have medication to raise the blood pressure.
There are serious things that can happen to babies that indicate that there might be an intracranial bleed. If these symptoms occur, then we can do various tests to determine whether there is a bleed and what is the size of the bleed, and this helps us to figure out what we need to do both short-term and long-term for the baby.
It also helps us as neonatologists to be able to talk to the parents and the grandparents and tell them what we’re dealing with and what to expect. Anybody who has a baby in a newborn intensive care unit should expect that kind of conversation from their doctors.
