It is the most severe form of [[stroke]].

===== Posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus =====


The presence of [[intraventricular hemorrhage]] portends a high risk of developing [[Posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus]] and decreased [[survival]]

The significance of delayed intraventricular haemorrhage (dIVH) is less well defined.


One hundred thirty-nine (51.3 %) patients with intraventricular hemorrhage developed ventricular dilatation, but only 47 patients (17.34 %) needed shunting. In seven cases, temporary neurosurgical procedures were performed, but in all of them, this was followed by ventriculoperitoneal shunt implantation. The infection rate was 4.25 %, and shunt obstruction rate was 4.25 %. More than 80 % of patients were classified as good or excellent functional state. Mean follow-up period was 38.75 months (SD, 27.09; range, 1-102 months).
