Improving health care transition and longitudinal care for adolescents and young adults with hydrocephalus: report from the Hydrocephalus Association Transition Summit.
Authors: Abstract The health care needs of children with hydrocephalus continue beyond childhood and adolescence; however, pediatric hospitals and pediatric neurosurgeons are often unable to provide them care after they become adults. Each year in the US, an estimated 5000-6000 adolescents and young adults (collectively, youth) with hydrocephalus must move to the adult health care system, a process known as health care transition (HCT), for which many are not prepared. Many discover that they cannot find neurosurgeons to care for them. A significant gap in health care services exists for young adults with hydroce...

Infant hydrocephalus in sub-Saharan Africa: Impact of perioperative care in the Zanzibar archipelago.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this research indicate that childhood hydrocephalus in Zanzibar has etiology, evolution and complications that are similar to or less than those described to date in East Africa. Implementing a series of perioperative protocols and standardized nursing care positively influences the results obtained. Currently, the Mnazi Mmoja Surgical NED Institute is one of the few centers in East Africa with an exhaustive record of healthcare activity and is the first health center that offers further training to nurses.

Hydrocephalus in Low and Middle-Income Countries - Progress and Challenges
Johannes M N Enslin, Nqobile S Thango, Anthony Figaji, Graham A FieggenNeurology India 2021 69(8):288-293 Hydrocephalus remains one of the most commonly treated neurosurgical conditions worldwide. Caring for patients with hydrocephalus requires infrastructure and political support and initiative; these are often difficult to obtain in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Some innovations that have arisen in LMICs have traveled up the financial gradient to high-income countries, such as the combination of endoscopic third ventriculostomy with choroid plexus coagulation to manage hydrocephalus. The development of neuro...

Hydrocephalus in encephalocele
CONCLUSIONS: Encephalocele, which is a subgroup of NTD, differs clinically by its location and accompanying additional anomalies. In encephaloceles, the risk of morbidity and mortality can only be reduced with the multidisciplinary approach. Hydrocephalus and Chiari type 3 malformation are common in patients with encephalocele. These associations adversely affect the prognosis of the disease. Further research should be conducted on the evaluation of risk factors of NTD and methods of prevention from NTD. In this regard, we recommend that the training be repeated at certain intervals and that people's awareness should be ra...
