Neuodevelopmental consequences of massive cerebellar bleeding in a preterm infant

Cerebellar injury is a common complication in preterm infants. The impact on future development and the risk for severe impairment depends on the size and location of the cerebellar hemorrhage as well as additional intracranial abnormalities. We describe the case of a preterm female infant with a large cerebellar bleeding and report the results of her follow-up assessments at 3, 12 and 24 months.
