title: Obstructive ventriculomegaly.
abstract: Intracranial Hemorrhage (ICH) occurs primarily in premature infants, and post-hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation is a well-known complication in this age-group. Blood clots within the ventricle are diagnostic of ICH but not usually seen. In our case Real-Time Ultrasonography has proved to be very helpful to identify intraventricular hematomas and to control obstructive ventriculomegaly without therapeutic intervention.
