In a prospective study at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, 95 premature infants with birthweights equal or less than 1500 g were screened for intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) using cranial ultrasound. Nineteen (20 per cent) were found to have developed IVH. Eight out of fourteen variables studied showed a significant difference between infants who did and those who did not develop IVH. Thes...

Germinal matrix-intraventricular haemorrhage (GMH-IVH) remains a serious problem in the very and extremely preterm infant. This article reviews current methods of diagnosis, treatment and neurodevelopmental outcome in preterm infants with low-grade and severe GMH-IVH. We conclude that there is still no consensus on timing of intervention and treatment of infants with GMH-IVH, whether or not com...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in premature infants and the ensuing posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus cause significant mortality and neurological disabilities, and there are currently no effective therapies. This study determined whether intraventricular transplantation of human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells prevents posthemorrhagic hydrocepha...

Periventricular/intraventricular hemorrhage (PVH/IVH) into brain can occur in premature infants and is associated with poor developmental outcome. The purpose of this study was to develop and characterize a model of PVH/IVH in newborn mouse. We hypothesized that periventricular germinal matrix would exhibit reduced cell proliferation. PVH/IVH was induced in 1-day-old mice by injection of autolo...

The present study investigates the possibility of detecting changes in cerebral oxygenation and consequently of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in preterm children using paired data from the NIRS-monitor and the patient vital signs monitor. During the study, one patient's data were analyzed. The patient was born at the gestational age of 25+6 weeks. He was monitored for a period of 72 hours. ...

Purpose: Extremely preterm infants are prone to brain injury and underdevelopment. Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is the most common cause of a significant risk factor for neurodevelopmental delay in infants. Severe IVH known have poor outcome; however, outcomes low-grade remain controversial. This study aimed evaluate segmental volumes with IVH.Methods: retrospective cohort included 109 ext...

Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) was associated with poor outcomes in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. IVH had a high incidence in patients with ruptured arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). In this study, we aimed to discuss the clinical features and prognostic factors of outcomes in the patients with AVM-related IVH.From January 2010 to January 2016, we collected the data of the patien...

AIMS To investigate the relation between cerebral blood flow on the first day of postnatal life and the severity of any subsequent germinal matrix haemorrhage-intraventricular haemorrhage (GMH-IVH). METHODS Cerebral blood flow was measured in 24 babies during the first 24 hours of life using near infrared spectroscopy. Repeated cerebral ultrasound examination was performed to define the maxim...

OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between PaCO2 in the first 4 days of life and neurodevelopment at 18 to 22 months. STUDY DESIGN Stepwise regression and exhaustive CHAID (Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detector) analyses were done for neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI), mental developmental index (MDI), and psychomotor developmental index (PDI) using clinical variables in combinati...

OBJECTIVE Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) occurs in preterm infants; however, the occurrence of this event is less frequent in term neonates. The present study evaluated clinical characteristics, pathophysiological features, and early outcome of term neonates with IVH in a referral neonatal center in Iran. MATERIALS & METHODS This study was performed on 30 full-term neonates admitted to the...
