Secondary intraventricular haemorrhage in blunt head trauma
Acta Neurochirurgica
|January 1, 1986
Abstract:
Intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) has been detected by computed tomography (CT) in 225 patients admitted to our clinic from 1977 to 1985. In 9 patients IVH was caused by trauma. We report two cases in whom IVH occurred after a lucid interval of about 10 hours postinjury. The pathogenesis of traumatic IVH is discussed comparing these cases with a review of the literature.
