Characteristics and management of hydrocephalus in adult patients with cerebellar glioblastoma: lessons from a French nationwide series of 118 cases
The objectives were to describe the occurence of hydrocephalus in a French nationwide series of adult patients with cGB, to identify the characteristics associated with hydrocephalus and to analyze the outcomes associated with the different surgical strategies, in order to propose practical guidelines. Consecutive cases of adult cGB patients prospectively recorded into the French Brain Tumor Database between 2003 and 2017 were screened. Diagnosis was confirmed by a centralized neuropathological review. Among 118 patients with cGB (mean age 55.9 years), 49 patients (41.5%) presented with pre-operative hydrocephalus. Thirtee...

Risk Factors of Persistent Hydrocephalus in Children with Brain Tumor: A Retrospective Analysis
Conclusion: Preoperative identification of children at risk for developing persistent hydrocephalus would avoid delays in planning the permanent cerebrospinal fluid drain devices. This study finds that an EI #x3e;0.34 and an FOHR #x3e;0.46 at diagnosis could impact on the therapeutic management of children with hydrocephalus associated with brain tumors. Prospective and larger-scale studies are needed to standardize this approach.Pediatr Neurosurg

Upfront Radiosurgery for Treatment of Symptomatic Obstructive Hydrocephalus due to Brain Tumors
Conclusion Radiosurgery is a non-invasive alternative treatment for primary and secondary brain tumors that debut with obstructive hydrocephalus, tumors expected to have a high alpha/beta ratio might be suitable to attempt radiosurgery to avoid permanently implanted devices such as VP shunts or other invasive procedures such as a third ventriculostomy. The present study demonstrated that in selected cases SRS can lead to hydrocephalus symptom resolution along with a decrease in ventricular size in a relatively short time frame. Little evidence exists regarding the effect of SRS on symptomatic hydrocephalus resolution and f...

Hydrocephalus in Neurofibromatosis-Three cases with different etiologies. (P2.104)
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with NF I hydrocephalus can be caused by different types of lesions but uniquely it can also be of unknown etiology and without any clinical symptoms or signs. 1. A. Dincer.

Ventricular size determination and management of ventriculomegaly and hydrocephalus in patients with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma: an institutional experience
CONCLUSIONS: Although ventriculomegaly can be present in up to 55% of patients with DIPG, the majority of patients present with asymptomatic ventriculomegaly and do not require surgical interventions. In some cases ventriculomegaly improved after medical management with steroids and RT. CSF diversion for hydrocephalus at the time of diagnosis does not impact survival. In contrast, our results suggest a survival advantage in patients who undergo CSF diversion for hydrocephalus at the time of progression, albeit that advantage is likely to be confounded by biological and individual patient factors. Further research in this a...

Long-term outcome in children with low grade tectal tumours and obstructive hydrocephalus.
CONCLUSIONS: At long-term, children with a low-grade tectal tumour display invalidating neuropsychological impairments resulting in educational problems. Adequate treatment of hydrocephalus may result in better cognitive functioning. Our findings suggest that part of the symptoms of the cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome may not have resulted from a cerebellar lesion itself but rather from a cerebral dysfunction or compression of supratentorial structures in the cerebello-cortical circuitry due to the obstructive hydrocephalus.

Hydrocephalus Decreases Arterial Spin-Labeled Cerebral Perfusion PEDIATRICS
CONCLUSIONS: Arterial spin-labeled–CBF was reduced in children with uncompensated hydrocephalus and restored after its alleviation. Arterial spin-labeled–CBF perfusion MR imaging may serve a future role in the neurosurgical evaluation of hydrocephalus, as a potential noninvasive method to follow changes of intracranial pressure with time.

Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) Shunt Survival in Patients Developing Hydrocephalus After Cranial Surgery.
CONCLUSION: Shunt survival was worse in patients who developed hydrocephalus following cranial surgery performed for brain tumors and those who received either steroids or prolonged antibiotic therapy. Thus post-cranial surgery hydrocephalus represents a unique subset of hydrocephalus. PMID: 27161463 [PubMed - in process]

Treatment of hydrocephalus following posterior fossa tumor resection: a multicenter collaboration from the Hydrocephalus Clinical Research Network
ConclusionsETV and VPS offer similar overall success rates for PFBT-related postoperative hydrocephalus. ETV failure occurs earlier, while susceptibility to VPS failure persists beyond 5  years. Tumor histology and grade may be considered when selecting the optimal means of CSF diversion.

Mortality Predictors in Bacterial Meningitis Patients who developed Hydrocephalus (P5.050)
CONCLUSIONS: In this retrospective analysis, we found that every decade increase in age, ischemic stroke, respiratory failure and requirement of ventriculostomy were significant predictors of mortality in patients of bacterial meningitis who developed hydrocephalus.

Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Related Hydrocephalus
Jonathan Roth, Shlomi ConstantiniNeurology India 2021 69(8):368-371 The prevalence of hydrocephalus among patients with neurofibromatosis type I (NF1) is estimated to be between 1 and 13%. Aqueductal webs, chiasmatic-hypothalamic tumors, and thalamic mass effect related to NF changes are the common causes of NF1-related hydrocephalus. Brain tumors and moyamoya syndrome may mimic the clinical presentation of hydrocephalus in children with NF1, and should be ruled out while evaluating children with headaches. Treatment of NF1-related hydrocephalus should be personally tailored, including shunts, endoscopic proced...
