intraventricular hemorrhage (ivh) is one of the major causes of the cerebral palsy and mental retardation. prevention and early management of these neurologic developmental problems will require determining the perinatal risk factors associated with this clinical entity. pneumothorax increase the risk of ivh, and cause of pneumothorax has an important effect in severity of ivh. this is a prospe...

protein s (ps) is an antithrombotic plasma protein that plays essential roles in limiting thrombus formation in the anticoagulant system. protein s deficiency is related with recurrent thrombosis. here, the authors report a case of a term neonate with severe ps deficiency in year 2015, imam hospital, tehran, iran, that had seizures and intraventricular hemorrhage (ivh) since the age of 3 days. ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Spontaneous idiopathic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) with a perimesencephalic bleeding pattern is usually associated with a benign course, whereas a diffuse bleeding pattern has been associated with a higher risk of vasospasm and disability. We evaluated whether volume of bleeding explains this disparity. METHODS Pattern and amount of bleeding (by Hijdra and intraventri...

background:intraventricular hemorrhage is the most common intracranial hemorrhage in premature infants. the objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between intraventricular hemorrhage and blood leukocyte count. materials and methods:this was a cross-sectional simple sampling study conducted from the beginning of 2006 to 2010 in ali-asghar children’s hospital. inclusion crite...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Thrombolytic efficacy of intraventricular rtPA for acute intraventricular hemorrhage may depend on hematoma composition. We assessed whether hematoma Hounsfield unit quantification informs intraventricular hemorrhage clearance after intraventricular rtPA. MATERIALS AND METHODS Serial NCCT was performed on 52 patients who received intraventricular rtPA as part of the Clo...

Background and Purpose—We have recently reported the safety of intraventricular sodium nitroprusside for the treatment of cerebral ischemia from vasospasm. Treatments have been accompanied previously by cerebral angiography to gauge treatment effect on established vasospasm. We presently report the safe coadministration of intraventricular sodium nitroprusside and thiosulfate in 10 patients wit...
