Abstract
We report the outcome of 12 very low birth weight infants with macrocrania caused by subarachnoid fluid collections. By the age of 15 to 18 months, head growth had stabilized along a curve above and parallel to the 95th percentile. No infant required neurosurgical intervention, nor was cerebral palsy or mental retardation diagnosed in any of the infants.
