Traumatic Intraventricular Hemorrhage: 2 Cases Report

• Park CK

Abstract

Two cases of traumatic intraventricular hemorrhage, readily assessed by cerebral computed tomography, are presented. Patho-dynamic factors of traumatic pure intraventricular hemorrhage are uncertain until now. Prognosis of that is relatively ominous. Is one case, of which all ventricles filled with hematoma after blunt head injury, soon ended her life in vain. In other case, in which 4 th ventricular hemorrhage with acute hydrocephalus developed, after falling in drunken state. The latter noted improved clinical state with only extraventricular drainage through frontal route and discharged without neurological deficit.
