Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a medical condition characterized by bleeding within the brain's ventricular system, which contains cerebrospinal fluid. This condition is most commonly seen in premature infants, as their blood vessels are fragile and more prone to rupture. IVH can lead to increased pressure in the brain and may affect normal brain development. Symptoms of IVH can vary but may include changes in muscle tone, seizures, or abnormal eye movements. Diagnosis is typically made through imaging techniques like ultrasound or MRI. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and monitoring for potential complications, such as hydrocephalus.
