Prevalence and Prognosis of Traumatic Intraventricular Hemorrhage in Patients with Blunt Head Trauma

Abstract

Traumatic IVH is rare and is associated with poor outcomes that seem to be the consequence of associated injuries. Isolated tIVH patients who are clinically well appear to have a functional outcome; we were unable to identify a case of isolated tIVH, combined with a normal neurologic examination, resulting in a poor or combined outcome.
