A classification of peri- and intraventricular haemorrhage in the neonate
The article presents a classification of peri- and intraventricular haemorrhage in the neonate. It would be expedient to term grade I haemorrhage according to Papile periventricular haemorrhage, since in this kind of haemorrhage there are no blood elements in the ventricular lumen and haemorrhage is present only in the germinal matrix. Instead of grade 2 and 3, only peri-and intraventricular haemorrhage (PIVH) is differentiated. Additional changes of PIVH - periventricular haemorrhagic infaction, progressive posthaemorrhagic hydrocephaly, ventricular dilatation - should be noted separately
