Zusammenfassung:Evaluated long-term neuropsychological outcome of 20 high risk infants with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) during the neonatal period who appeared free of significant impairment through 30 months of age. This group was compared with a matched sample of 20 high risk infants without intracranial hemorrhage and a group of 70 children with no history of perinatal or chronic health problems. A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation at age 5 revealed that the two high risk groups tended to perform at a lower level than the control group across most measures. However, the ICH group performed at a significantly lower level than the control group on measures of perceptual-motor skills and intermodal memory abilities while the high risk group without ICH did not. The implications of differences in level and pattern of performance are discussed along with the implications of the current findings for long-term functioning of high risk infants with ICH.
