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 (IVDSA) demonstrated an AVM, which was successfully excised on the 2nd day after birth. It is stressed that IVDSA is safe and noninvasive in comparison with conventional angiography and is useful for diagnosis of cerebral vascular disease in neonates.
