Dear Patricia,
Thank you for your question. A 30 week infant with a grade II IVH
has only a 10 % risk of major disability such as spasticity, and
this is the same level of risk as an infant who has had no hemmorage.
But these children are at increased risk for learning problems at school.
An evaluation for early intervention is recommended, as well as continued
follow-up in a developmental assessment clinic.
