Fourteen @entity1 or neonates with @entity693 underwent prospective brain sonography follow-up for early detection of intracranial complications. Most @entity1 had 12 scans during a 6 month period. The @entity1 's ages ranged from 5 days to 11 months. Early surgical intervention is suggested in progressive @entity2554 or severe subdural fluid collection. One @entity1 with @entity1276 had ventriculoperitoneal shunting. Three @entity1 developed @entity3553 . One had subdural external drainage; and repeat subdural tappings were done in the other two. All these @entity1 recovered without obvious neurologic sequelae. Two other @entity1 developed @entity2554 one month after the onset of @entity693 . @entity1276 ex vacuo was suspected and there were no indications for shunt surgery. These latter two cases had developed mild @entity1155 on their last follow-up. This primitive observation suggests that early detection with prospective, sequential sonography follow-up and appropriate surgical intervention for @entity1276 or subdural fluid collection may lessen the neurologic sequelae in infantile and neonatal @entity693 .
