Ünsal, GülşahKilicbay, Fatih2024-10-262024-10-262023979-888697714-1979-888697545-1https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12418/27339Germinal matrix hemorrhage and intraventricular hemorrhage (GMH-IVH) is one of the most important complications in preterm neonates. Despite improved care services in the field of neonatal intensive care, this complication is still encountered. Just as GMH-IVH leads to short-term complications, it can also lead to long-term permanent sequelae such as neurodevelopmental disorders and cerebral palsy, and by leading to hemodynamic disorders, severe hemorrhage can even result in death. After the development of GMH-IVH, there is no specific treatment. Therefore, prevention of the hemorrhage is the most important treatment step and knowing the pathogenesis will be of benefit in preventing GMH-IVH. The aim of this study was to report the frequency of GMH-IVH and to inform and raise awareness of the pathogenesis, prevention, diagnosis, and follow up. © 2023 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
