Hemorrhages Subependymal

Subependymal hemorrhages are one of the types of hemorrhages in the brain. They occur as a result of rupture of small blood vessels in the subependyma, a layer of cells covering the inner surface of the ventricles of the brain. Subependymal hemorrhages can occur in newborns, as well as in adult patients as a result of trauma, stroke, tumors and other diseases.

Symptoms of subependymal hemorrhages can vary depending on where they occur and their size. Some patients may not experience any symptoms, while others may experience headaches, nausea, vomiting, seizures, and changes in vision and consciousness. In some cases, subependymal hemorrhages can lead to the development of hydrocephalus - accumulation of fluid in the ventricles of the brain.

Diagnosis of subependymal hemorrhages may include neuroimaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT). Treatment depends on the severity of symptoms and the size of the hemorrhage. In some cases, surgery may be required to remove the bleeding and relieve pressure on the brain.

Prevention of subependymal hemorrhages may include preventing injury, controlling blood pressure, and treating medical conditions that may lead to the development of hemorrhages. Also effective methods of prevention are a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition, moderate physical activity and giving up bad habits.

In general, subependymal hemorrhages are a serious condition that can lead to serious consequences. However, modern diagnostic and treatment methods make it possible to promptly identify and effectively treat this pathology.
