Remote Primary Intraventricular Haemorrhage in Case of a Ruptur ed MCA Aneurysm

Prognostic indicators in patients with primary intraventricular haemorrhage.

OBJECTIVES Primary intraventricular haemorrhage (PIVH) is a rare clinical entity. We sought to evaluate risk factors, clinical and radiological features, and outcome of patients with PIVH. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cases of PIVH were identified from cohort of patients with non traumatic intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) by reviewing the radiological data. Their charts were reviewed and demographic,...

Ruptured, fusiform, distal lenticulostriate aneurysm causing intraventricular haemorrhage in a patient with antiphospholipid-negative Sneddon's syndrome.

Phenobarbitone prophylaxis of intraventricular haemorrhage.

Thirty preterm infants (birthweight under 1500 g) were treated with phenobarbitone to examine its effectiveness in reducing the incidence of intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH), the control group comprising 28 infants. The treated group had 57% incidence of IVH and mortality of 13% compared with 68% and 14%, respectively, in controls.

Protein S Deficiency and an Adult Case with Moyamoya Syndrome that Presented with Primary Intraventricular Haemorrhage.

CASE REPORT A 32-year-old woman had symptoms of sudden-onset severe headache, projectile vomiting, impaired consciousness, and slight neck stiffness.

Extension of neonatal intraventricular haemorrhage.

A total of 338 infants of gestational age 34 weeks or less were scanned regularly with real time ultrasound. Definite intraventricular haemorrhage was present in 126 (37%) infants, of whom 17 (13.5%) showed extension in the size of the initial haemorrhage, mostly into the cerebral parenchyma. These 17 infants were carefully matched with 17 others who had an initial haemorrhage of the same size ...
