Myelomeningocele-associated hydrocephalus: nationwide analysis and systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: From 1998 to 2014, hydrocephalus treatment has become more delayed and the number of hydrocephalic MMC patients not treated on initial inpatient stay has increased. Meta-analysis demonstrated that shunt malfunction and infection rates do not differ between delayed and simultaneous hydrocephalus treatment.

Intrathecal CSF dynamic measurements in Hydrocephalus associated with MMC – experience of the Republican center of Neurosurgery of Uzbekistan
ConclusionThe implantable shunt systems parameters were chosen before surgery in the surgical management of hydrocephalus in children with MMC are essential. This is important in order to prevent under or over drainage states, CSF leakage from the MMC sac. Management of hydrocephalus should be performed by considering MMC affecting craniospinal balance.

Perforation of the cavum septi pellucidi in open spina bifida: association with need for hydrocephalus treatment by 1 year of age
CONCLUSIONS: The detection of a pCSP in fetuses with ONTD can reliably identify those cases at highest risk for needing hydrocephalus treatment by 1 year of age. The evaluation of this brain structure can greatly improve our counseling to families considering fetal surgery for ONTD, in order to set expectations about postnatal outcome.

ETV/CPC show positive outcomes in babies with hydrocephalus
Hydrocephalus, literally “water on the brain,” is an abnormal build-up of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain cavities known as ventricles. In infants, it can be congenital (it often accompanies spina bifida, for example), or it can be caused by brain hemorrhage or infection. The usual treatment is surgery to implant a shunt, which drains the excess fluid into the abdomen, relieving pressure on the brain.
But over time, shunts nearly always fail, requiring emergency neurosurgery to repair or replace them. But emergency neurosurgery is not something that’s readily available outside of metropolitan areas. Untreated, hydro...

Harvey Cushing's early management of hydrocephalus: An historical picture of the conundrum of hydrocephalus until modern shunts after WWII
Conclusions: Cushing's publications document a preference for translumbar-peritoneal drainage in patients with congenital hydrocephalus, particularly those with spina bifida. Although the placement of ventriculosubgaleal shunts has become an accepted practice for contemporary neurosurgeons, this case illustrates the challenges that early neurosurgeons faced in developing operative approaches for the treatment of congenital hydrocephalus.

Subdural fluid collection and hydrocephalus following cervical schwannoma resection: hydrocephalus resolution after spinal pseudomeningocele repair: case report.
This report emphasizes that hydrocephalus may be related to disorders of cerebrospinal fluid flow dynamics induced by cervical pseudomeningocele. In these rare cases, both the hydrocephalus and the symptoms are resolved by the simple correction of the pseudomeningocele.

Prenatal brain imaging for predicting postnatal hydrocephalus treatment in fetuses that had neural tube defect repair.
CONCLUSIONS: Persistence of HBH on MRI 6 weeks after prenatal NTD repair independently predicted the need for postnatal HT better than any US- or MRI-derived measurements of ventricular characteristics. These results will aid in prenatal counseling and add support to the hypothesis that HBH is a significant driver of hydrocephalus in myelomeningocele patients. This article is protected by copyright.

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...
