abstract background: high resolution ct scan has made early diagnosis of intraventricular hemorrhage (ivh) easier. posttraumatic intraventricular hemorrhage has been reported to a greater extent because of the ct scan. methods: 904 patients were admitted in the nsicu from march 2001 to march 2002 with severe closed head injury, of those only 31 patients with intraventricular hemorrhage (gcs les...

intraventricularhemorrhage (ivh) is one of thecommon morbidities among preterm neonates. in thepresentstudy, we set out to evaluate the efficacy of two prophylactic modalities (ibuprofen and indomethacin prophylaxis) for prevention of ivh in our local setting. a prospective study was carried out in akbar-abadi hospital, tehran-iran (2013-2014). ninety-six preterm neonates who cared in closed in...

We report the finding of multiple cerebral aneurysms in a pair of identical twins. One twin had subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracerebral hematoma; her sister had subarachnoid hemorrhage and intraventricular bleeding. Angiography in both cases showed multiple cerebral aneurysms. It is appropriate to recommend a cerebral angiographic examination of an asymptomatic twin after the other twin has s...

In patients with high-grade atherosclerotic stenosis or occlusion of the extracranial cerebral arteries, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) may occur, potentially due to rupture of fragile dilated pial collateral vessels. This association has been well described in Moyamoya disease. There are only few cases in the literature that reported SAH due to bilateral carotid artery stenosis but intraventric...

Background: Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in preterm neonates is a serious problem in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) worldwide. IVH is reported in approximately 60-70% of very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) neonates. The present study aimed to assess the association of IVH with neonatal characteristics and serum markers, such as serum Interleukin-6 (IL-6) level, in preterm neonates in an aca...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Germinal matrix hemorrhage-intraventricular hemorrhage is the most common neurological problem of premature infants. Despite this, mechanisms of brain injury from intraventricular hemorrhage are elusive. We hypothesized that germinal matrix hemorrhage-intraventricular hemorrhage, by induction of NAD(P)H oxidases, might cause oxidative/nitrosative stress contributing to br...

Background: Intraventricular hemorrhages and respiratory distress syndrome are two common diseases in preterm infants. Observation-based care, may reduce the rate of these complications through energy saving, diminishing apnea periods and cerebral blood flow changes. Aim: to evaluate the effect of behavior observation-based care training for mothers on intraventricular hemorrhages and ventilati...

Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) may occur as an isolated event from primary ventricular bleeding or as a complication of brain hemorrhage from another etiology. It is associated with high mortality and morbidity. The underlying risk factors include hypertension and aneurysms, among others. However, not all the exact etiologies are known. In this study, a case of a 24-year-old man who suffered...

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...
