Ventricular hemorrhage secondary to spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage: pathophysiological, imaging evaluation and treatment / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) accounts for about 3%-5% of all intracerebral hemorrhage, which can be divided into primary and secondary IVH. Primary IVH is mostly caused by choroid plexus vascular or subependymal artery rupture, and secondary IVH refers to spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage that breaks into the ventricle and the prognosis was poor. This article reviews the pathophysiological mechanism, severity assessment, and treatment progress of secondary IVH.
