===== Epidemiology =====

Even with improved prenatal and neonatal care, [[intraventricular hemorrhage]] (IVH) occurs in approximately 25%-30% of [[preterm infant]]s, with a subset of these patients developing [[hydrocephalus]].

===== Diagnosis =====

[[Posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus of prematurity diagnosis]].


===== Management =====
Considerable variability exists in diagnosis and management of PHVD in preterm infants among Canadian tertiary centers and between Canadian and European practices. Given the potential implications of the inter-center practice variability on the short- and long-term outcomes of preterm infants with PHVD, efforts towards evidence-based Canada-wide practice standardization are underway
