Conference Description:
Over the last few years neonatologists involved in neonatal neurology have focused their attention mainly on white matter disease of prematurity. Germinal matrix intra-ventricular haemorrhage (GMH-IVH) has not been extensively studied yet, although different ways of treating its complications are provided, varying from one neonatal centre to another.
A sensitive reduction of its incidence has been obtained compared to a couple of decades ago but a very likely increase is about to occur due to the increased survivability of babies at lowest gestational ages, who are also the babies with highest risk of developing GMH-IVH.
The meeting pits together the best researchers available in this field to discuss the different aspects of the topic: pathogenesis, ultrasound and magnetic resonance appearance, treatment of the post-haemorrhagic hydrocephalus and its impact on later neurological outcome.
