Es posible qu no se presenten síntomas. Los más comunes que se observan en los bebés prematuros pueden abarcar:

Pausas respiratorias (apnea)
Cambios en la presión arterial y la frecuencia cardíaca

Disminución de los reflejos
Sueño excesivo
Letargo

Pruebas y exámenes:

Se recomienda una ecografía de la cabeza para todos los bebés nacidos antes de 30 semanas con el fin de detectar hemorragia intraventricular. El examen se hace una vez entre los 7 y los 14 días de vida.

Se sugiere una segunda ecografía cerca del momento en que originalmente se esperaba que el bebé naciera. El examen también se puede hacer si el niño tiene signos o síntomas de hemorragia intraventricular.

Se recomienda una tomografía computarizada de la cabeza si un bebé tiene síntomas después de un nacimiento difícil, un hemograma bajo o signos de problemas de sangrado.
