ABSTRACT
Intraventricular hemorrhage is the most common intracranial disease in the preterm newborn.
Incidents have been reported from 30 to 50% according to different authors. There are multiple
perinatal, prenatal and postnatal factors associated as a cause of germinal matrix hemorrhage
within them prematurity, hypoxia, hypertension, hypercapnia, hypernatremia, hyaline membrane
disease, seizures, pneumothorax, and others. The incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage in
preterm infants under 34 weeks is 25 and up to 40% with 30% to 60% incidence in infants under
28 weeks. In recent years an increasing interest in this entity has increased because of its
frequent occurrence especially in preterm with very low birthweight,its clinical frame can range
from asymptomatic forms until catastrophic ones, hence the importance of ultrasound diagnosis,
posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus and periventricular leukomalacia were the most frequently
complications observed in this affection ,which can have serious long-term complications and even
death. For all that, you need to pay attention to early diagnosis of intraventricular hemorrhage in
order to reduce mortality and morbidity that accompanies it.
