Abstract
Median neurofilament and glial fibrillary acidic protein concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid of 18 infants with posthaemorrhagic ventricular dil atation were 20-200 times higher than control values. S-100 protein in cere brospinal fluid was four times higher than control values. Glial fibrillary acidic protein concentrations correlated with death or disability and with parenchymal lesions but not with shunt dependence.
