TY - JOUR T1 - MR of neurologically symptomatic newborns after vacuum extraction delivery. JF - American Journal of Neuroradiology JO - Am. J. Neuroradiol.

The lesions included subdural hematomas, one tentorial hematoma, and one intracerebellar hemorrhage. One patient had hydrocephalus that required shunting. We propose that the visualized abnormalities are probably the result of vertical stress leading to laceration of bridging veins, venous sinuses, and/or venous hemorrhagic infarctions. ER -
