Intraventricular hemorrhage in adults

J R Little, G A Blomquist, R Ethier

    Surgical Neurology
    |September 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study details 54 adult intraventricular hemorrhage cases, primarily caused by hypertension and vascular malformations. Computed tomography (CT) scans effectively visualized blood in the ventricles, though surgical intervention showed limited benefit.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a serious neurological condition.
    • Understanding the causes and diagnostic imaging of IVH is crucial for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical presentation and CT findings in adult patients with intraventricular hemorrhage.
    • To identify the primary causes and evaluate the effectiveness of surgical treatment for IVH.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 54 adult patients diagnosed with IVH via computed tomography (CT).
    • Categorization of clinical presentations.
    • Assessment of CT scan's ability to detect and track blood within the ventricular system.
    • Evaluation of intracerebral hematoma presence and surgical treatment outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Hypertension, arterial aneurysm, and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) were identified as the cause in 83% of cases.
    • CT scans accurately showed blood distribution within all ventricles.
    • Intracerebral hematomas were present in 78% of patients.
    • Blood density on CT scans resolved within 12 days.
    • Surgical treatment was beneficial in a limited number of patients.

    Conclusions:

    • CT is a reliable tool for diagnosing and assessing the extent of IVH.
    • Common causes include hypertension and vascular abnormalities.
    • Surgical intervention for IVH has a limited role in improving patient outcomes.
