Intraventricular hemorrhage and posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus in preterm infants: diagnosis, classification, and treatment options

Authors: Paola Valdez Sandoval, Paola Hernández Rosales, Deyanira Gabriela Quiñones Hernández, Eva Alejandra Chavana Naranjo, Victor García Navarro

Published in: Child's Nervous System | Issue 6/2019

Abstract

Purpose

Intraventricular hemorrhage is the most important adverse neurologic event for preterm and very low weight birth infants in the neonatal period. This pathology can lead to various delays in motor, language, and cognition development. The aim of this article is to give an overview of the knowledge in diagnosis, classification, and treatment options of this pathology.

Method

A systematic review has been made.

Results

The cranial ultrasound can be used to identify the hemorrhage and grade it according to the modified Papile grading system. There is no standardized protocol of intervention as there are controversial results on which of the temporizing neurosurgical procedures is best and about the appropriate parameters to consider a conversion to ventriculoperitoneal shunt. However, it has been established that the most important prognosis factor is the involvement and damage of the white matter.

Conclusion

More evidence is required to create a standardized protocol that can ensure the best possible outcome for these patients.
