Abstract

The history of five patients, having developed intraventricular bleeding following head injury, was reviewed. Only two patients survived, one of whom eventually lapsed into a persistent vegetative state. The only patient showing good recovery was an 8-year-old girl. Primary traumatic intraventricular hemorrhage should be considered a rare, but serious entity with a very poor prognosis.
