Is intracranial hemorrhage in newborns mild or severe?

Patient's question:

My son is one year old. Two days ago, he was diagnosed with mild intracranial hemorrhage at the hospital. But I don't know if it's serious or if it will be life-threatening. Is mild intracranial hemorrhage in newborns serious?

Doctor's answer:

If the bleeding cannot be fully absorbed, the bleeding tissue in the brain may cause seizures. If accompanied by cerebral hypoxia, it also depends on the degree of hypoxia on the impact of brain damage. If the injury is severe, the possibility of sequelae is greater, and the smaller the damage, the smaller the possibility of sequelae. Regardless of whether there are sequelae, after the condition stabilizes, it should be given nutrition to the brain as soon as possible to promote the absorption of bleeding and to help the brain recover as soon as possible.
