Atypical Presentation of Periventricular Haemorrhagic Infarction in the Presence of Thrombophilia

Introduction: Periventricular haemorrhagic infarction (PVHI) is a complication of preterm birth associated with cardiorespiratory instability. The role of thrombophilia as a possible additional risk factor in infants with an atypical presentation when PVHI was of presumed antenatal onset or > 96 h after birth in the absence of a preceding sudden deterioration, has not been investigated extensively.
