We present a case of oculomotor palsy due to hypertensive hemorrhage in the caudate nucleus, with intraventricular extension. To our knowledge, this is the only instance of this complication occurring due to hypertensive hemorrhage. Our patient initially developed headache at the time of her hemorrhage; 8 days later, she developed complete third nerve palsy, which showed improvement at follow-u...

BACKGROUND Six hundred and four surviving children aged 2 years, who had been entered into a neonatal trial of fresh frozen plasma on the incidence of intraventricular haemorrhage, were grouped into four categories of disability based on a review by a full paediatric assessment. A 29 item questionnaire completed by the children's health visitors was used to group the children into the same cate...

Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) secondary to spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) results in death in 32% to 43% of cases and poor functional outcome in most survivors. In severe IVH with obstruction of the third or fourth ventricle, the placement of an extraventricular drain can help lower raised intracranial pressure. Meta-analysis shows this reduces mortality, but poor outcomes remai...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Small case series have reported potential benefit from thrombolysis after spontaneous intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). Our objective was to review our experience using intraventricular urokinase (UK) in treating selected patients with IVH. METHODS Using medical records, we identified all patients who received ventriculostomies for CT-confirmed nonaneurysmal nontraumat...

AIM This study was aimed at assessing the efficacy of endoscopic technique in surgery for hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. MATERIAL AND METHODS This paper focus on our experience (11 cases) of endoscopic removal of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. The paper presents examples of endoscopic removal of hematomas located in the basal ganglia (9 cases) and in the posterior fossa (2 cas...

Investigators from the Department of Pediatric Neurology, Morinomiya Hospital, Osaka, Japan performed a retrospective IRB approved study of the prevalence of cerebellar injury (CI) and effect on functional outcomes among preterm children with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and cerebral palsy (CP), comparing them to infants with post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PH).
