“…With the increasing availability of CT scanning for emergency evaluation of head injured patients, posttraumatic IVH has been shown to occur more frequent than previous thought. It represented 1.5% to 5.7% of all head injured patients in different series (4,13,(16)(17)(18). In this series almost all ofour patients were brought to our hospital within one hour of injury, and almost all initial CT scans were done within Lee et a].…”

“…As for the possible causes of post-traumatic IVH, some pathogenetic mechanisms have been proposed (1,5,13,17,18). Zuccarello, et al (13) suggested that the rupture of the subependymal vein deformed by a negative pressure following sudden dilatation of the ventricular wall at the time of the impact may explain the occurrence of post-traumatic IVH.…”

“…The angular acceleration/deceleration force resulted in basal ganglia hemorrhage, then extended into the ventricle (5). Some authors also raised the possibility that spontaneous rupture of an unsuspected periependymal vascular malformation may have caused IVH before the impact (17,18). Concomitant brain stem injury with blood extension into the ventricle may be another possible mechanism of post-traumatic IVH (5).…”

A series of 25 patients suffering acute post-traumatic intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) after closed head injury is reviewed. Post-traumatic IVH was associated with other brain lesion in most cases; intracerebral lesions with contusion, subdural hematoma, and epidural hematoma coexisted with post-traumatic IVH in ten, three, and one instance, respectively. In six cases, no CT abnormality other than IVH was noted. The final outcome in this series is poor, only 10 (40%) patients made a functional survival. Four different groups of IVH were proposed according to the CT scan findings: deep nuclei hemorrhage, brain stem injury, white matter hemorrhage and isolated IVH. The group of isolated IVH usually got a good outcome. The abnormal motor response, abnormal pupil reaction and impaired oculocephalic response were reliable parameters for poor prognosis.

“…In such cases bleeding is due to disruption of the ventricle wall by an intracerebral hematoma or by rupture of the subependymal veins caused by negative pressure during sudden dilatation of the ventricles at the time of the trauma [2,3,7,10]. Spontaneous bleeding into the ventricles, which can occur, for example in the presence of vascular malformations localized within the arterial circle, subependymally or in the choroid plexus, are seldom observed [1,4,5,6].…”

A 76-year-old woman sustained severe multiple injuries when hit by a car. During the treatment a massive intraventricular hemorrhage was found by computer tomography. The postmortem examination revealed no craniocerebral injuries except for a small contused wound of the scalp. Microscopic examinations revealed a choroid plexus angioma in the lateral ventricle as the cause of the hemorrhage into cerebral ventricles.

SummaryThe findings of computerized tomography and clinical features were studied in 19 patients with traumatic intraventricular haemorrhage. Blood was found in various portion of the ventricles. Main sites of the blood was as follows: around the foramen of Monro, 6 patients; in the body and occipital horn of the lateral ventricle, 5 patients; solely in the occipital horn, 8 patients. The haemorrhage around the foramen of Monro, resulting from contusion of the ventral portion of the corpus callosum, septum pellucidum, and fornix, showed an interesting CT finding. Intracranial co-existing lesions were seen in 17 patients, and extracranial lesions were seen in 13 patients, suggesting the external force was excessive. Both the Glasgow coma scale scores on admission and Glasgow outcome scale were generally unfavourable, but 4 patients showed good recovery. The final outcome was mainly influenced by the severity of the coexisting intracranial lesions.
