AB Neonatal  germinal  matrix  hemorrhage/intraventricular  hemorrhage  (GMH/IVH)  is  the  most  common  form  of  intracranial  hemorrhage  in  preterm  infants,  and  an  important  cause  of  long-term  morbidities  among  survivors  of  neonatal  intensive  care.  In  its  least  severe  form,  the  hemorrhage  may  be  restricted  to  the  germinal  matrix  area  or  subependymal  zone.  However,  it  frequently  extends  beyond  the  germinal  matrix  into  the  cerebral  ventricles,  following  rupture  of  the  germinal  matrix  hemorrhage  into  the  ventricular  space.
