Types of ICH include subdural hemorrhage, epidural hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral intraparenchymal hemorrhage, intracerebellar parenchymal hemorrhage, and germinal matrix and intraventricular hemorrhage. An ICH in term infants tends to be extra-axial (subdural, subarachnoid, or subtentorial) and is most related to birth trauma, hypoxic ischemic events, and coagulopathies (eg, thrombophilias or thrombocytopenia). The most common ICH in preterm infants is bleeding from the subependymal germinal matrix and may result in intraventricular or periventricular hemorrhage, either of which can potentially cause hemorrhagic infarctions of the cerebral white matter. With the spread of improved neuroimaging techniques, cerebellar hemorrhage has been detected with increasing frequency, in particular among very immature preterm infants.
