🧠 Case Study 184 – Neonatal Intraventricular Hemorrhage (IVH)

🧠 Case Study 184 – Neonatal Intraventricular Hemorrhage (IVH) ⁠ Meet Baby J, a 28-week preemie born via emergency C-section due to maternal preeclampsia. On day 3 of life, cranial ultrasound revealed a Grade III intraventricular hemorrhage — a serious but not uncommon complication in premature infants.⁠ ⁠ What is IVH? Intraventricular hemorrhage is bleeding into the brain’s ventricular system, often due to fragile blood vessels in the germinal matrix, especially in babies born before 32 weeks gestation.⁠ ⁠ Grades I–IV: ➡️ Grade I–II: Mild, often resolves without long-term issues ➡️ Grade III: Ventricular enlargement due to blood accumulation ➡️ Grade IV: Bleeding into brain tissue — highest risk for neurodevelopmental impairment⁠ ⁠ Why it matters: Early detection is crucial. Untreated, IVH can lead to hydrocephalus, seizures, motor deficits, or cognitive delays. ⁠ Treatment: 🍼 Supportive NICU care 🧠 Monitoring head circumference & imaging 💉 Neurosurgical interventions (like shunt placement) if hydrocephalus develops⁠ ⁠ Takeaway: Prematurity isn’t just about size — it’s about organ maturity, including the brain. Vigilant monitoring can make all the difference. 💙 ⁠ #Neonatology #IntraventricularHemorrhage #NICUAwareness #PrematureBaby #Neurosurgery #LadySpineDoc #CaseStudy184 #NeonatalCare #PediatricNeurosurgery #SundayCaseStudy
