Abstract:
A case of hemorrhage in the cavum septi pellucidi presenting as macrocephaly secondary to hydrocephalus in a full-term neonate is described. This condition has only been reported previously in one premature infant. This unusual location of intracranial bleeding has been demonstrated by ultrasonography and MRI. We discuss the pathophysiology.
