Abstract
Six term newborns, presenting with seizures, in whom cranial sonogram showed isolated periventricular hemorrhage (SEH) are described. Age of onset of seizures ranged from day one of birth to day twenty-one. Seizures appeared spontaneously in previously healthy newborns in three cases. All but one survived, and three have near normal development. Isolation of hemorrhage to the periventricular area suggests germinal matrix to be the source of hemorrhage in these cases. These cases also emphasize the need to consider diagnosis of IVH in term-newborns presenting with seizures.
