Abstract
78 VLBW admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, in the Regional Perinatal Center, during the period July 1979 to December 1981 had CT brain scan and/or ultrasound. They were followed at 18-24 months corrected age and neurologic examination and Bayley Scales of Infant Development were performed. Their gestation (wks.) and birthweight (kg.) in the control group were G.A. 29.3±1.9 and birthweight 1.050±0.2 and paraventricular-intraventricular group were G.A. 29.2±2.3 and birthweight 1052±.3. Degree of hemorrhage was graded according to Papile.
