Ultrasound investigations demonstrating intracranial hemorrhages (periventricular intraventricular hemorrhage-PVH/IHV) were performed in 401 term newborns. Without consideration the mode of delivery incidence of intracranial hemorrhage was 4.7%. There were only subependymal hemorrhages grade 1 and 2. In case of vaginal-operative delivered children frequency of hemorrhage in forceps delivered babies was really lower than in vacuum extracted newborns.
