Cerebral hemorrhages are the most serious complication in preterm and hypotrophic neonates. The mechanisms underlying the formation of these hemorrhages are unclear. In utero Doppler cerebral velocimetry is not yet used as a parameter to predict this complication. Our case allowed us to analyze the evolution of cerebral Doppler abnormalities with the appearance of an intracerebral hemorrhage. The modifications in the Doppler cerebral velocimetry could not be predicted. Therefore it is necessary to determine other parameters which show the evolution of the intracerebral vasomotricity.
