A commonly used classification system of germinal matrix hemorrhage is the sonographic grading system proposed by Papile: [3] [citation needed] grade I - hemorrhage is confined to the germinal matrix. grade II - intraventricular hemorrhage without ventricular dilatation; grade III - intraventricular hemorrhage with ventricular dilatation
In infants, germinal matrix hemorrhage is associated with cerebral palsy, problems with cognition, and hydrocephalus. [7] With improved technological advances in science and medicine, survival for preterm infants with this type of neurological disorder has improved and less preterm infants with germinal matrix hemorrhage have severe cerebral ...
The germinal matrix is the source of both neurons and glial cells and is most active between 8 and 28 weeks gestation. It is a fragile portion of the brain that may be damaged leading to a germinal matrix hemorrhage (grade 1 intraventricular hemorrhage). Location/anatomy: The germinal matrix is next to the lateral ventricles (the "inside" of ...
Glioblastomas are the most common primary malignancies to hemorrhage while thyroid, renal cell carcinoma, melanoma, and lung cancer are the most common causes of hemorrhage from metastatic disease. Other causes of intraparenchymal hemorrhage include hemorrhagic transformation of infarction which is usually in a classic vascular distribution and ...
Transvaginal ultrasonography – Ultrasound is performed through the vagina; Transabdominal ultrasonography – Ultrasound is performed across the abdominal wall or through the abdominal cavity; In normal state, each body tissue type, such as liver, spleen or kidney, has a unique echogenicity. Fortunately, gestational sac, yolk sac and embryo ...
Adrenal hemorrhage characteristic of the Waterhouse–Friderichsen syndrome has been identified in several autopsies of patients who died of sepsis secondary to capnocytophaga canimorsus infection. [8] Viruses may also be implicated in adrenal problems: Cytomegalovirus can cause adrenal insufficiency, [9] especially in the immunocompromised.
It can infect the unborn baby, but more often passes to the baby during childbirth. [4] Onset is typically in the first six weeks after birth. [3] The baby is at greater risk of being affected if the mother contracts HSV in later pregnancy. [2] In such scenarios a prolonged rupture of membranes or childbirth trauma may increase the risk further ...
Ultrasound showing a subchorionic hemorrhage [1] Chorionic hematoma is the pooling of blood ( hematoma ) between the chorion , a membrane surrounding the embryo , and the uterine wall . [ 2 ] It occurs in about 3.1% of all pregnancies , [ 2 ] it is the most common sonographic abnormality and the most common cause of first trimester bleeding .
