AB To improve interpretation of intracranial computed tomographic findings in vivo, postmortem computed tomography was correlated directly with autopsy findings in 105 specimens of human stillborn and live-birth infants, ranging in age from gestational week 13 to postnatal month 18. This study identifies the typical computed tomographic appearance of intradural and other hemorrhages, attempts to correlate the type of hemorrhage with brain maturity, and documents that postmortem computed tomography is useful to the neuropathologist as a supplementary method complementing the traditional postmortem examination.
