BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Thick cisternal clot on CT is a well-recognized risk factor for delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Whether intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) or intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) predisposes to DCI is unclear. The Fisher CT grading scale identifies thick SAH but does not separately account for IVH or ICH. METHODS We studied 276 consecutivel...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The aim of the current study was to investigate the dose-dependent efficacy of intraventricular fibrinolysis (IVF) in patients with severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). METHODS Patients with intracerebral hemorrhage, severe IVH, and obstructive hydrocephalus with the need for external ventricular drainage were treated with IVF through external ventricular drainage....

Abstract Background Globally, 15 million neonates are born prematurely every year, over half in low income countries (LICs). Premature and birth weight have a higher risk of intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH). There minimal data regarding IVH sub-Saharan Africa. This study aimed to examine the incidence, severity timing modifiable factors for amongst low-birth-weight Uganda. Methods is prospect...

Background: Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is one of the most serious complications of premature deliveries, especially in very low birth weight (VLBW) newborns. The current study compared the number of nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) in newborns with and without IVH.Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 109 VLBW neonates who were referred to the Neonatal Intensive C...

Background: Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is one of the most important causes of cognitive and motor disorder in children with very low birth weight  and is associated with high mortality and disability rate. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine IVH risk factors in the first days of life in neonates weighing less than 1500g (VLBW) so that the results can contribute ...

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IVH) is a condition or heterogeneous group of vessels characterized by an increase in pressure (ICP) without signs mass formation, hydrocephalus, infection, venous thrombosis, and hypertensive encephalopathy. The term "pseudotumoral cerebral hypertension" used to describe the secondary origin ICP due various causes diagnosis exclusion. One risk factors for ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the optimal timing of cranial ultrasound scans (USs) for identifying preterm neonates weighing less than 1500 g at birth who develop intracranial complications of prematurity. DESIGN/SETTING Observational study at an urban county hospital. METHODS Serial USs from neonates with less than 1500-g birth weight (BW) admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit between Janu...
