Endoscopic management of hypertensive intraventricular haemorrhage with obstructive hydrocephalus
BACKGROUND Intracranial haemorrhage accounts for 30-60 % of all stroke admissions into a hospital, with hypertension being the main risk factor. Presence of intraventricular haematoma is considered a poor prognostic factor due to the resultant obstruction to CSF and the mass effect following the presence of blood resulting in raised intracranial pressure and hydrocephalus. We report the results...
متن کاملMechanisms of hydrocephalus after intraventricular haemorrhage in adults
Intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) is defined as the eruption of blood in the cerebroventricular system and occurs mostly secondary to intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) in adults. Hydrocephalus is a severe complication of IVH that can serve as an independent predictor of increased mortality. In this mini-review, we focus on the mechanisms of hydrocephalus after adult IVH, including blood-clot blo...
متن کاملCorticosteroid therapy of experimental hydrocephalus after intraventricular-subarachnoid haemorrhage.
Symptomatic hydrocephalus after subarachnoid haemorrhage seems to result both from mechanical obstruction of arachnoid villi and basilar cisterns and from an inflammatory cellular reaction in the villi. Subarachnoid haemorrhage was induced in rabbits using whole blood injected through an implanted intraventricular needle. Control rabbits receiving intraventricular methyl prednisolone acetate bu...

متن کاملEfficacy of External Ventricular Drain in Cases of Hypertensive Intraventricular Bleed with Acute Hydrocephalus
Hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhages (HICH) is characterized by direct bleeding into the cerebral parenchymal system. The most common localization for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhages was Thalamus (27%), followed by Putamen and lobar regions. Intraventricular (IVH) bleed was present in 358 patients (14.2%). 315 patients (12.5%) had acute hydrocephalus after bleed and were included in our...
