Y1 - 2015 N1 - T2 - Fetology: Diagnosis and Management of the Fetal Patient, 2e AB - Key PointsFetal intracranial hemorrhage is generally diagnosed in the late second trimester as an asymmetric echogenic mass within the ventricles, mostly associated with some degree of ventriculomegaly.Causes to be considered include drug use (warfarin, cocaine), alloimmune thrombocytopenia, coagulation disorders, or trauma.Grading of severity uses a similar scale to that for neonatal intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), with prognosis being quite poor for most cases of Grades III or IV IVH.The only specific treatment relates to situations in which the underlying cause is alloimmune thrombocytopenia, where aggressive therapy with IVIG and steroids in subsequent pregnancies may minimize recurrence.
