Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) uncommonly occurs in an otherwise healthy term neonate. We report a case of IVH in a term infant that was the result of an angiographically demonstrated arteriovenous malformation (AVM) despite the infant having a cranial ultrasonogram and magnetic resonance angiogram, which did not demonstrate the AVM.
