Abstract: Cerebellar hemorrhage（CBH）in preterm infants is a significant risk factor affecting the neurodevelopmental prognosis of preterm infants，with an increasing incidence over time.Early intervention and treatment by analyzing the risk factors of CBH can improve the survival rate and quality of life for preterm infants.However，there is currently limited research on the risk factors associated with CBH in preterm infants.Cranial ultrasound is the preferred neuroimaging method for diagnosing CBH.With advancements in ultrasound technology，the diagnostic rate of CBH has improved.This article provides a comprehensive review of the risk factors of CBH in preterm infants and the progress on cranial ultrasound diagnosis research，aiming to strengthen the diagnosis，treatment，and follow-up care of cerebellar hemorrhage in preterm infants.
