objective: preterm infants are prone to intraventricular hemorrhage. they may suffer from significant morbidity and mortality particularly in those with high-grade hemorrhage. our objective was to determine the incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage in premature infants transported to a tertiary center compared with those delivered at the level iii facility.  methods: we evaluated all prematu...

Moyamoya disease usually manifests as ischemic events in childhood, and as more severe hemorrhagic events, including intraventricular hemorrhage, in adults. Recently, the indication for neuroendoscopic surgery has been extended to cast-formation intraventricular hematomas. However, detailed information about the use of neuroendoscopic surgery for the treatment of intraventricular hemorrhage ass...

BACKGROUND Primary diffuse leptomeningeal gliomatosis (PDLG) is a lethal neoplasm that is characterized by glioma cells exclusively infiltrating into cerebral and spinal meninges. Intraventricular hemorrhage as an initial symptom in PDLG patient has not been reported in the literatures. CASE PRESENTATION A 39-year-old man initially presented with intraventricular hemorrhage. The patient had a...

Cerebral angiography in patients with nontraumatic lobar intracerebral hemorrhage may or may not uncover the underlying cause of the disorder. The CT and cerebral angiographic studies of 67 consecutive patients with nontraumatic lobar intracerebral hemorrhage were reviewed to assess the relationship between CT pattern and location of hemorrhage and the frequency of diagnostic angiographic findi...

Fifty neonatal and infant heads were examined using a 5 MHz real-time sector scanner. Anatomic detail superior to that previously described was achieved by this method. Normal structures routinely imaged included the entire ventricular system and many parts of the subarachnoid spaces. The gray scale detail of parenchymal structures was usefully demonstrated. Routinely visualized vascular struct...

We reported a case report of 50-year-old woman with stroke hemorrhage due to subarachnoid hypertensive urgency, left ventricular hypertrophy, and dyslipidemia. Subarachnoid indicates the presence blood in space between pia mater arachnoid which usually results from ruptured cerebral aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation. The patient presents decreased consciousness preceded by severe headache ...

A previously healthy 9-year-old girl presented with sudden-onset headache followed by confusion. In the emergency department, she was hypertensive, bradycardic, and no longer responsive to any stimuli. An emergent head CT scan demonstrated a left frontal intraparenchymal hematoma with intraventricular and subarachnoid extension as well as subfalcine herniation (figure). She underwent decompress...
