Abstract

Nine adult patients with non-traumatic primary intraventricular hemorrhage (PIVH) were reviewed. Lack of lateralizing sign could be one of the differential points between PIVH and secondary intraventricular hemorrhage (SIVH). In three cases, vascular malformations were identified. Bleeding diathesis was present in one. The pathogenesis of hemorrhage in the remaining five cases was speculated. According to the mainly involved ventricle, prognosis was presumed to be variable. From this study, we conclude that for PIVH investigation including angiography and/or magnetic resonance imaging should be done to identify the etiology and to conduct appropriate management. Survival was more common than SIVH.
