intraventricular

Within the ventricles

Intraventricular describes something situated or occurring within a ventricle, most commonly referring to the ventricles of the brain or heart.

In neurology, an intraventricular hemorrhage is bleeding within the brain's fluid-filled cavities, a serious condition particularly common in premature infants.

In cardiology, the term appears in contexts like intraventricular conduction delay, describing electrical impulses moving through the heart's lower chambers.
