Intraventricular Hemorrhage
What is intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH)?
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is bleeding inside or around the ventricles, the spaces in the brain containing the cerebral spinal fluid.
Intraventricular means within the ventricles
Hemorrhage means excessive bleeding
Intraventricular hemorrhage is most common in premature babies, especially very low birthweight babies weighing less than 1,500 grams (3 pounds, 5 ounces).
