Fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) is the most common cause of severe neonatal thrombocytopenia and intracranial bleeding in term newborns. Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) commonly results in death or severe, lasting neurologic disability. The timing of ICH is also important for management of the next affected pregnancy in cases of FNAIT. This manuscript reviews the advantages and disadvantages of the different radiologic methodologies to identify and characterize ICH. It discusses the limits of ultrasound and the advantages of magnetic resonance imaging allowing avoidance of the radiation associated with computed tomography (CT) scans.

D007231 Infant, Newborn An infant during the first 28 days after birth. Neonate,Newborns,Infants, Newborn,Neonates,Newborn,Newborn Infant,Newborn Infants
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D054098 Thrombocytopenia, Neonatal Alloimmune A condition in newborns caused by immunity of the mother to PLATELET ALLOANTIGENS on the fetal platelets. The PLATELETS, coated with maternal ANTIBODIES, are destroyed and removed by the fetal MONONUCLEAR PHAGOCYTE SYSTEM. Affected infants may have INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES.
