AB  - An  African  American  male  infant  born  at  23  6/7  weeks  gestation  via  vaginal  delivery  with  APGAR  scores  of  7  and  7  at  1  and  5  minutes,  respectively,  was  intubated  shortly  after  delivery.  An  echocardiogram  showed  a  small  patent  ductus  arteriosis  and  a  small  patent  foramen  ovale  with  left  to  right  shunting.  The  patient’s  initial  hospital  course  was  complicated  by  necrotizing  enterocolitis  for  which  he  was  treated  with  a  Penrose  drain  and  a  course  of  intravenous  (IV)  piperacillin/tazobactam.  On  his  second  day  of  life,  an  ultrasound  of  the  brain  showed  grade  III  bilateral  intraventricular  hemorrhage  (IVH)  without  ventriculomegaly.  Over  the  course  of  the  next  few  days,  his  head  circumference  increased  each  day,  and  his  fontanelle  became  full  with  splayed  sutures.  A  follow-up  ultrasound  of  the  brain  demonstrated  significant  ventriculomegaly  that  had  not  been  present  on  the  initial  ultrasound  (Figure  28-1).
