N2  - Several reviews of intracerebellar hemorrhage in premature infants have appeared recently.1-4 The reports agree that these hemorrhages are associated with extreme prematurity, respiratory distress syndrome, and supratentorial intraventricular hemorrhage originating in the germinal matrix in the walls of the lateral ventricles. It has been suggested that the cerebellar hemorrhages originate in the germinal matrix in the roof of the fourth ventricle.1 There is disagreement over the causative role of external occipital compression by bands used with mask ventilation.1.3.4During a review of the neuropathology of neonatal deaths at the Mayo Clinic, we encountered several cases of intracerebellar hemorrhage. Our results differed from those in previous reports with respect to the origin of the hemorrhages: In half of the cases, the cerebellar hemorrhages appeared to be secondary to the supratentorial intraventricular hemorrhages. In other respects, our results were similar to those in previous reports.Cerebellar hemorrhages were found
