This study carried out on 72 patients with secondary cerebroventricular hemorrhage and 115 patients with cerebral hemorrhage, without cerebroventricular apoplexy. The results showed that the cerebral hemorrhage in any area could lead to secondary cerebroventricular apoplexy. 65% of cases with thalamic hemorrhage had cerebroventricular apoplexy. The dimension of blood clot in the secondary cerebroventricular hemorrhage was larger than this in the cerebro parenchyma hemorrhage without apoplexy. The clinical characteristics included sudden crisis, conscious disorder, and cerebral stimulation. The mortality rate was 25%.

Background: The intracranial hemorrhage (lCH) in infant due to vitamin K deficiency were been informed a lot at all over the world since the year of 80's. In Viet Nam, in recent years, this disease still most occurs which account for 110-130 children/100000 alive infant. The intracranial hemorrhage (lCH) in infant causes severe neurological, psychiatric sequelae. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the characteristics of epilepsy, changing of electroencephalogram and lesions of brain after intracranial hemorrhage in infant. Subjects and method:A descriptive, cross sectional study was conducted on 97 infant patients with the age ranged from 8 days to 3 months years old whom treated in National Hospital for Peadiatric. Results: Epilepsy was common (45.3%), with generalized seizures in 24.7% , partial seizures in 20.6%. The main intracranial lesions were cerebral cyst and atrophy in right or left hemisphere or both sides. Electroencephalic activity was found impaired in most of patients: Disorder of background waves in 19.6 %, low localized waves in 31%, proxystic ativity with spike in 45.3% and decrease in electroencephalographic amplitude in cystic areas. Conclusion: The epilepsy, abnormal electroencephalographic activities, severe lesions of brain were common after intracranial hemorrhage in infant.

Spontaneous intracranial hematoma in patients with brain tumors is well recognized, However, intracranial hematoma associated with meningioma has been rarely reported. Not infrequently, clinical manifestations of such tumors have been masked by the associated hematoma, which preclude correct diagnosis of these tumors. Meningioma-associated hemorrhages have been reported regardless of sex, age, or location and histology of the tumor. The mechanisms of such hemorrhage are yet to be clarified. During the last two years, we have experienced three cases of intracranial hemorrhage associated with meningioma. Two of them occurred acutely without antecedent symptoms of the meningioma and other one after gamma knife surgery of meningioma. We reviewed partinent literature and discussed possible mechanisms of these rare intratumoral or peritumoral hemorrhages associated with meningiomas.

We report four cases of intracranial hemorrhage after cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass in the pediatric patients. The pre-, intra-, and postoperative data of these 4 patients are presented. The specific factors causing the intracranial hemorrhage remain unexplained, but anticoagulant (heparin) and a tearing of bridging veins after a rapid change of the brain volume by administration of mannitol can be a cause of intracranial hemorrhage. Intracranial hemorrhagic brain injury after cardiac surgery is rare but devastating. however, we consider early diagnosis and proper treatment to be effective because organic brain damage did not occur.

9 classic hemophilacs in Severance Hospital, Yonsei University from Dec. '77 to Aug. '79 were reviewed and analysed and the following results were obtained. 1. Intracranial hemorrhage is required the most immediate emergent therapy in hemophiliacs and computerized transverse axial tomogarhy may be essential for the accurate and noninvasive diagnosis and for the effective emergency treatment. 2. To conserve supplies of therapeutic materials and to decrease the possibility of transmitting hepatitis and other diseases with blood products, it is desirable to reduce the amount of blood products with the use of epsilone aminocaproic acid, and epsilone aminocaproic acid may be useful in extraction and/or other non-dental injury with hemophiliacs.

It is established that intracranial hemorrhage is relatively common benign intracranial diseases in adult. This is very rare in children reports are limited to a few cases or to those cited in reviews of series of intracranial hemorrhage in adult group. We wish to report three cases of large intracranial hematoma in three infants. The diagnosis was greatly facilitated by the CT scan and the treatment did by the microsurgical methods.

Hemorrhage associated with an intracranial neoplasm is a rare event and can produce a serious outcome. Most of the intracranial hemorrhages in brain tumors are in the subarachnoid, intracerebral, or subdural area and cases of intratumoral or intraventricular hemorrhage are relatively rare. The authors report two cases of brain tumors associated with intratumoral and intraventricular hemorrhage which occurred during the preoperative embolization. The diagnoses were petro-clival hemangiopericytoma and suspected intraventricular meningioma. There was no specific precipitating factor for the bleeding. We discuss the possible mechanisms of intracranial hemorrhage in these cases, and stress the unexpected complication when performing preoperative embolization.

Two cases of the traumatic aneurysms of the pericallosal artery that occurred after closed head injury are reported. The mental deterioration, urinary in continence and crural-predominent hemiparesis are attributable to the delayed intracranial hemorrhage after rupture of the traumatic aneurysms of the pericallosal artery. As soon as the diagnosis has been confirmed by the cerebral angiography, surgical treatment is recommended to reduce the high mortality and morbidity and the procedure as in the congenital aneurysm.
