Isolated ventricles following intraventricular hemorrhage
Journal of Neurosurgery
|March 1, 1985
Summary
Progressive hydrocephalus in premature infants after intraventricular hemorrhage can lead to isolated ventricles. Multiple shunts are often necessary to manage this complex condition, requiring close monitoring with imaging techniques.
Area of Science:
- Neonatal Neurology
- Pediatric Neurosurgery
Background:
- Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a common complication in premature neonates.
- Panventricular enlargement and hydrocephalus can develop following IVH.
- Standard treatments like lumbar punctures and ventricular reservoirs may be insufficient.
