Histopathological and functional Characterization of a neonatal mouse model of intraventricular hemorrhage.

Germinal matrix hemorrhage-intraventricular hemorrhage (GMH-IVH) is a major neurological problem of premature infants that leads to white matter injury and posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus. There is no optimal treatment for IVH-induced complications. Several animal models of IVH have been developed, but they have significant limitations.
