Methods: This study was carried out on 40 patients of either sex of various age group treated at SDM Hospital, Jaipur, who have undergone CT scan of head. Results: Mild IVH score of 1-4 was noted in 20(50%) cases. moderate score of 5-8 was noted in 26 patients. 40% patients moderate score had present with ICH.
