Hydrocephalus is a severe complication of IVH that can serve as an independent predictor of increased mortality. In this mini-review, we focus on the mechanisms of hydrocephalus after adult IVH, including blood-clot blockage, barrier impairment, inflammation and blood components, and attempt to reconcile the current research findings into a unified framework. We expect our theoretical framework to help guide future clinical and basic research leading to improved monitoring and intervention for IVH and subsequent hydrocephalus.}, issn = {2059-8688}, URL = {https://svn.bmj.com/content/1/1/23}, eprint = {https://svn.bmj.com/content/1/1/23.full.pdf}, journal = {Stroke and Vascular Neurology} }
