Fast resolution and good outcomes of isolated traumatic intraventricular haemorrhage: a case report

Abstract

The location and the size of intracranial haemorrhage play an important role in determining the time for the hematoma resolution. Without surgical intervention, it takes at least a few weeks for the whole hematoma to resolve spontaneously. Despite that the rapid and spontaneous resolution of intracranial haemorrhage is well described in the literature, it is considered rare. Moreover, we could identify only one case of rapid spontaneous resolution of isolated traumatic intraventricular haemorrhage (ITIVH) in the literature. Herein, we report a rare case of ITIVH that disappeared rapidly without surgical intervention. Our case supported the hypothesis that the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and its circulation are major players in the rapid resolution of ITIVH.
