Intraventricular hemorrhage classification



Primary intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) or IVH secondary to intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) with extension to the ventricles.

Primary Intraventricular hemorrhage

Some of the more common causes of primary intraventricular hemorrhage in adults include

Arterial hypertension

Vascular malformations

aneurysm (e.g. PICA aneurysms have a tendency to fill the 4th ventricle, with little basal cistern blood)

Intraventricular arteriovenous malformations (AVM)

subependymal cavernous malformations

anticoagulation therapy/coagulopathy

Intraventricular tumors

ependymoma

choroid plexus / intraventricular metastases

adjacent parenchymal tumors (e.g. glioblastoma)

Traumatic intraventricular hemorrhage
