  The third patient with a left thalamic and basal ganglia hemorrhage, who was initially awake and then lapsed into stupor days later, underwent surgery, but did not recover consciousness. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Infants with severe intraventricular hemorrhage might develop metabolic or respiratory acidosis, apnea, hypotonia and stupor. The newborn might go into a coma. [lecturio.com]

  There is a change in level of alertness (either stupor or an irritable, hyperalert state). A clue to the occurrence of IVH may be a falling hematocrit or failure of the hematocrit to rise after transfusion. [utmb.edu]

  Symptoms can include: Abnormal sense of taste Change in alertness (level of consciousness) Apathetic, withdrawn Sleepy, lethargic, stuporous Unconscious, comatose Difficulty speaking or understanding speech Difficulty swallowing Difficulty writing or [snc.md]

Diagnostic Workup for Intraventricular Hemorrhage in Premature Newborns Laboratory investigations are rarely useful in infants with intraventricular hemorrhage unless the hemorrhage is severe enough to cause metabolic acidosis or respiratory acidosis. [lecturio.com]

Author Contributions CS, CG, CL, EG, AK, CM, and DH were involved with the workup and clinical care of the patient. [journal.frontiersin.org]

These results underscore the need of cerebral angiography and workup for coagulopathies in patients with PIVH. No definite cause was identified in seven (47%) patients and PIVH was assumed to be secondary to hypertension in 6 of these. [jpma.org.pk]

• Lymphopenia

  Lymphocytosis and lymphopenia have been observed in infants with intraventricular hemorrhage. Imaging studies are the mainstay diagnostic tool for the screening, confirmation, and follow-up of intraventricular hemorrhage. [lecturio.com]

• Gram-Positive Bacteria

  Complications Three patients had a second bleed (one of these died) and 26.2% suffered from ventriculitis (11 patients) predominantly secondary to Gram positive bacteria (63%); two of these had polymicrobial aetiology. [medintensiva.org]

We investigated the feasibility and safety of IVF followed by early LD for the treatment of posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Placement in dominant IVH cast or multiple EVDs increases efficiency and treatment benefit. “Further investigation of EVD use, alteplase treatment goals, and ICP control measures are imperative,” they concluded. More ISC 2016 coverage here. [thecardiologyadvisor.com]

Although external ventricular drainage placement is an intuitive treatment for obstructive hydrocephalus this treatment does not address in total the aforementioned pathophysiological mechanisms underlying secondary brain damage. [minervamedica.it]

[…] an analysis to be made of the prognosis and the risk factors associated with mortality. [medintensiva.org]

Prognosis Prognosis of intraventricular hemorrhage basically depends on many factors. The amount of lost blood, the type of damage to the nearby brain cells, the overall health of the affected individuals, comorbidities etc. [ic.steadyhealth.com]

Cerebellar hemorrhage is rare, associated with poor prognosis and is seen as an echogenic area within the cerebellum with non-visualization of the 4th ventricle. [sonoworld.com]

The ICH score, the most widely used and validated clinical grading scale for ICH since its publication in 2001, specifically incorporates the presence of intraventricular blood as a factor contributing to poorer prognosis ( 8 ). [journal.frontiersin.org]

There are numerous causes of intraventricular hemorrhage and as such no single demographic can be identified; rather each underlying etiology contributes its own patient population. [radiopaedia.org]

The etiologies of the studied fourth IVH include hypertensive intracranial hemorrhage(39 cases), spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage(12 cases), primary IVH(9 cases), trauma(4 cases), Moyamoya disease(1 case). [jkns.or.kr]

History of diabetes mellitus, coagulopathy as an underlying etiologic factor and presence of blood in all ventricles predict early mortality. However, our study is limited by its small sample size and retrospective nature. [jpma.org.pk]

This text then examines the general principles of epidemiology. Other chapters consider the advantages and disadvantages of using autopsy data for epidemiologic studies. [books.google.com]

Injuries to the head, another cause of the aforementioned bleeding can also be sometimes prevented. Still, there is no definitive way of complete and utter prevention of such bleeding. [ic.steadyhealth.com]

How can intraventricular hemorrhage be prevented? There have been many prevention strategies investigated, both antenatal and postnatal, but none has been shown to be clearly effective. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Prevention of IVH Many trials and prevention strategies were based on the general theory that the incidence of IVH would decrease if episodes of cerebral blood flow fluctuations, hypoxia, hypercapnia, and increased venous pressure could be minimized in [ispn.guide]

PREVENTION ANTENATAL PREVENTION Avoid preterm delivery VIT k should be given before delivery to all women receiving phenobarbitone or phenytoin during pregnancy C section of high risk deliveries A single course of antenatal corticosteroids is recommended [slideshare.net]
