[|Human|] My son was born 7 weeks premature with a grade 3 IVH. The bleeding stopped soon after but led to hydrocephalus. He is now 20 months. He does not have a shunt. His neurologist didn t wanna put one in because he said there is no pressure at this time. He s been getting nosebleeds for quite sometime now and they keep getting worse. Could this be related to the hydrocephalus in any way.
[|AI|]  Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor. Newborn brains are in the process of development especially in preterm. The inner lining of the brain is very thin. As the development of the brain progresses, a substance called myelin is formed and acts as an insulator of the nerve fibers and helps them in functioning. But in preterm sometime bleeding may occur below the thin lining and as there is resorption of the blood, the blood debris often block the Chat Doctor.
