Abstract

Cranial ultrasound is a valuable bedside technique and procedure of choice to image the intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). Moreover, anatomical variants of the neonatal brain should be known to avoid of misinterpretation. The term of split choroid plexus was described as a cleft in the choroid plexus, which could be partial or complete in the anterior portion, giving a lobular appearance. We presented the case of split choroid plexus in a late premature infant and we aimed draw attention to the fact that it can be confused with IVH.
