objective there are few studies evaluating the relative frequency of different etiologies of hydrocephalus in pediatric population, in iran; therefore, this topic was considered in the present study. material & methods in a prospective study, the study group consisted of all children fulfilling the imaging criteria for having hydrocephalus, aged below 12 years, admitted at rasht 17th shahrivar ...

Persistent hydrocephalus is common in child after resection of posterior fossa tumours. Occurrence subdural hygroma, but very rare, with only few cases reported. We report the rare case a who developed tense hygroma stable hydrocephalus, early postoperative period, following tumour resection. describe distinctive clinical, radiological and pathological features associated development hygroma. a...

Background: Hydrocephalus is a common pediatric condition but many neurosurgeons cannot continue to care for patients into adulthood. Although gaps in are thought exist youth transitioning adult care, little known about how patients/caregivers feel the process. This study examined perceptions of adolescents and young adults from at single centre. Methods: We explored with hydrocephalus process ...

germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (ivh) is the most common variety of neonatal intracranial hemorrhage and is characteristics of the premature infant. the importance of the lesion relates not only to its high incidence but to their attendant complications (ic: hydrocephalus). brain sonography is the procedure of choice in diagnosis of germinal matrix- intraventricular hemorrhage and h...

treatment of hydrocephalus in posterior fossa tumors in children is still a matter of controversy and different centers have their own routines. in this regard, hospital records of all children with posterior fossa tumors treated in our center during the interval of 1985-1995 were reviewed. patients’ demographic and diagnostic data were analyzed and the frequencies of shunting procedures were d...

BACKGROUND We examined the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) markers of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)-induced and idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH) to investigate the pathophysiology and mechanism of communicating hydrocephalus compared to obstructive hydrocephalus. MATERIAL/METHODS We obtained CSF samples from 8 INPH, 10 SAH-induced hydrocephalus, and 6 unmatched patients with non-hemo...

In an effort to identify critical gaps in the prevailing knowledge of hydrocephalus, the authors formulated 10 key questions. 1) How do we define hydrocephalus? 2) How is cerebrosinal fluid (CSF) absorbed normally and what are the causes of CSF malabsorption in hydrocephalus? 3) Why do the ventricles dilate in communicating hydrocephalus? 4) What happens to the structure and function of the bra...

purpose: the aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of endoscopic neurosurgery for patients with third ventricular colloid cysts without ventriculomegaly. methods: seventy-one patients with third ventricular colloid cysts were identified and recruited to this study. eighteen of these patients did not have concomitant hydrocephalus and underwent primary endoscopic...

Hydrocephalus is an unbalanced condition between the production and absorption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). We reported a child with multiloculated hydrocephalus who developed several complications. Our team was challenged to manage his issues during five years follow up. performed multicystic cerebral shunts despite neuroendoscopic evidence.
