Abstract:
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in the term infant is an uncommon and unexpected diagnosis. This article examines the frequency of IVH in the term newborn; the pathogenesis behind IVH; the presentation according to the location, extent, and cause of the hemorrhage; the diagnosis, associated complications, management, and outcomes of infants with IVH; and nursing responsibilities. A case study is offered of a term infant who presented with seizures after a normal labor and delivery, was found to have bilateral Grade III hemorrhages, and proceeded to develop posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus. Her management and outcome to date are discussed.
