Intraventricular Hemorrhage in Neonates
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Intraventricular hemorrhage in neonates is bleeding that occurs within the cavities of the brain called ventricles. It is seen especially in premature newborns, whose cerebral blood vessels are still very fragile.
Why does it occur? The immaturity of the brain's vessels and the sudden changes in blood flow during the first days of life favor this type of bleeding.
Signs to watch for: It may go unnoticed or manifest with apnea, changes in muscle tone, paleness, or alterations in the baby's activity, so it is usually detected with imaging studies.
Who manages it? The pediatrician, frequently in the neonatal care setting, is responsible for monitoring and caring for the newborn. Close follow-up is key to accompanying the baby's development.
