Abstract
A case of neonatal intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) secondary to rupture of an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is reported. The baby began to vomit frequently 9 h after birth. Computed tomographic scan revealed the presence of an ICH. Intravenous digital subtraction angiography (I VDSA) demonstrated an AVM, which was successfully excised on the 2nd d ay after birth. It is stressed that IVDSA is safe and noninvasive in c omparison with conventional angiography and is useful for diagnosis of cerebral vascular disease in neonates.
