Hydrocephalus Associated with Posterior Fossa Tumors: How to Manage Effectively ?
Conclusions: Hydrocephalus associated with PFT affects the quality of life of patients with such lesions. Routine preoperative CSF diversion is not necessary for the vast majority of patients with posterior fossa tumor-related hydrocephalus. A high index of suspicion and aggressive surveillance is required for the early identification and appropriate management of postresection hydrocephalus. Future studies are needed to address several unanswered questions pertaining to the management of this condition.

Comparative study of lumboperitoneal shunt versus ventriculoperitoneal shunt in post meningitis communicating hydrocephalus in children
Conclusion: Due to less morbidity and ease of placement, LP shunt can be an alternative to VP shunt in cases of communicating hydrocephalus in children, which has more non-obstructed complication rates as compared to LP shunt.

Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus Presenting as Psychosis
Conclusions: All the patients had psychosis much before other features of iNPH developed. One of the patient's psychosis was temporally associated with onset and offset of hydrocephalus, thereby strongly supporting the causative nature of iNPH. iNPH though rare can be one of the causes for late onset secondary psychosis.

Genetics and Molecular Pathogenesis of Human Hydrocephalus
Maria Garcia-Bonilla, James P McAllister, David D LimbrickNeurology India 2021 69(8):264-270
Hydrocephalus is a neurological disorder with an incidence of 80–125 per 100,000 live births in the United States. The molecular pathogenesis of this multidimensional disorder is complex and has both genetic and environmental influences. This review aims to discuss the genetic and molecular alterations described in human hydrocephalus, from well-characterized, heritable forms of hydrocephalus (e.g., X-linked hydrocephalus from L1CAM variants) to those affecting cilia motility and other complex pathologies such as neur...

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...

Chiari 1 and Hydrocephalus & #8211; A Review
Himanshu Sharma, Jeffrey M Treiber, David F BauerNeurology India 2021 69(8):358-362
Chari 1 malformation, a radiologic finding of caudal cerebellar tonsillar displacement, has a clinical course that can range from benign to complications involving life-threatening hydrocephalus. While the pathophysiologic processes underlying this variation in outcome remain a matter of scientific debate, the clinical realities and decision-making conundrums that these patients pose require a coherent approach to this entity. In this review, we seek to highlight the various processes underlying the development of hydrocephalus in patients...

Hydrocephalus in Vein of Galen Malformations
Srinivasan ParamasivamNeurology India 2021 69(8):372-375
Vein of Galen malformation (VOGM) is a fistulous arteriovenous malformation presenting in the early childhood. Hydrocephalus with VOGM develops in one half of patients during the course of the disease. The concept of hydrodynamic disorders is the key to understand the development of hydrocephalus. VOGM results in venous hypertension that secondarily disturbs cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) absorption leading to hydrocephalus and occurs frequently in infants and young children. The medullary veins are thought to be the main pathway for absorption of CSF by the cerebrofugal...

Controversies in Hydrocephalus: QUO VADIS
Conclusions: As with most chronic and complex disorders, hydrocephalus welcomes controversy as a healthy discussion platform to exist until we understand the disorder to its minutest.

Hydrocephalus and vasculitis delay therapeutic responses in tuberculous meninigitis: Results of Haydarpasa-III study
Conclusions: In the absence of hydrocephalus or vasculitis, one week of anti-tuberculosis treatment seems to be adequate for the resolution of TBM symptoms. Hydrocephalus and vasculitis delay the resolution of TBM symptoms in response to antimycobacterial treatment.
