Abstract
Despite improvements in the mortality rates of preterm infants, rates of germinal matrix intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) have remained static with an overall incidence of 25% in infants less than 32 weeks. The importance of the lesion relates primarily to the underlying injury to the developing brain and the associated long-term neurodevelopmental consequences. This clinical-orientated review focuses on the pathogenesis of IVH and discusses the evidence behind proposed prevention strategies.
