AB Neonatal  germinal  matrix  hemorrhage/intraventricular  hemorrhage  (GMH/IVH)  remains  a  common  form  of  intracranial  hemorrhage  in  preterm  infants.  It  is  an  important  cause  of  long-term  morbidities  among  survivors  of  neonatal  intensive  care.  The  hemorrhage  is  typically  located  in  the  cerebral  ventricles.  However,  hemorrhage  in  its  least  severe  form  may  be  restricted  to  the  germinal  matrix  area  or  subependyma  without  blood  in  the  ventricles.  Germinal  matrix  hemorrhage  may  evolve  to  rupture  into  the  ventricular  space.
