Does intracerebral Hematoma contribute to Hydrocephalus After Intraventricular Hemorrhage via Aggravating Iron Accumulation?
Our results show that ICH/IVH caused more significant chronic hydrocephalus and iron accumulation than primary IVH alone. Intracerebral hematoma plays a vital role in persistent iron overload and aggravated hydrocephalus after ICH/IVH.
Because of the size of the study, we were unable to demonstrate the benefit or lack thereof of cytocidal agents in reducing local recurrence.
