10 to 15% of all 700,000 stroke cases in the U.S. each year suffer from IVH Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH)
A condition in which blood vessels within the brain burst and bleed into the hollow chambers (ventricles) normally reserved for cerebrospinal fluid and into the tissue surrounding them.
, and SAH Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)
