What is the diagnosis?
Small volume of intraventricular haemorrhage is layering in both occipital horns.
Is primary or secondary intraventricular haemorrhage more common?
Secondary IVH (e.g. from parenchymal haemorrhage) is much more common.
What complication should be actively assessed for whenever IVH is identified?
Obstructive hydrocephalus.
Trace intraventricular haemorrhage is noted layering dependently in the occipital horns of the lateral ventricles. No parenchymal or subdural/extradural haemorrhage. Grey-white matter differentiation is preserved. Ventricles and sulci remain age-appropriate.
Left occipitoparietal and right temporo-occipital scalp haematomas noted. Undisplaced longitudinal sagittally orientated left occipital bone fracture (not shown) again noted.
