The term subependymal hemorrhage describes an intracranial hemorrhage in newborns that may occur due to the functional immaturity and fragility of the subependymal blood vessels in newborns.
Imaging
Subependymal hemorrhages in newborns are typically visualized by ultrasound through the fontanelles.
Classification
Depending on the extent of the hemorrhage, subependymal hemorrhages can be classified into four different Papile grades.
