Cerebroventricular hemorrhage originates in the germinalmatrix [2], a structure located beneath the ependymal lining of the ventricles and largest in the groove between the head of the caudate nucleus and the thalamus. It is a highly vascular structure with little supporting tissue. It is a source of neurobiasts which migrate peripherally during development of the fetal brain. The germinal matrix is largest at 24-32 weeks gestation and then involutes so that it is much smaller in full term infants than prematures [6].
