...Harold D. Portnoy; Paul D. Croissant Nine infants with myelomeningocele and hydrocephalus had cerebrospinal fluid formation and absorption studies before insertion of a ventriculoperi-toneal shunt. Six were also tested postoperatively. The preshunt formation rate varied from 0.21–0.42 ml · min –1...

... but not with the ventricular system. Associated with those cysts was a significant degree of hydrocephalus due to compression of the fourth ventricle. Delayed metrizamide CT scan showed totally isolated cysts from CSF circulation although the cystic content was determined as the CSF. Case Report Child's Brain 10: 67-72 (1983...

... in the posterior fossa. The computed tomography scan showed hydrocephalus and a high-density lesion, nonenhanced after introduction of the contrast agent, compatible with a clot at posterior fossa level. Likewise, after contrast new images appeared which had not been seen previously, considered as afferent...

...J.F. Hirsch; D. Renier; A. Pierre-Kahn Two series of patients treated for hydrocephalus (101 original shunt insertions, 81 revisions and 35 reinsertions after infections) have been operated on in the same location, 146 with a surgical isolator (SI), 71 without a SI. Due to temporary poor technical...

...A.L. Amacher; W.D. Reid 4 children with hydrocephalus diagnosed prenatally by uterine ultrasound are presented. In spite of severe hydrocephalus at birth, 3 of the 4 are normal 3.5–5.5 years following surgical therapy. The implications of hydrocephalus diagnosed prenatally are discussed...

...Joan L. Venes; Richard K. Shaw 6 cases of ventriculopleural shunting for control of hydrocephalus are presented. In the older child and adult, drainage of cerebrospinal fluid into the pleural cavity seems to be well tolerated in exceptional circumstances where other shunt procedures, including...

...Henrietta S. Bada; James H. Salmon; Donald H. Pearson 10 premature infants were found to have posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) over a 4-year period. All weighed less than 2,500 g. The diagnosis was established by ventricular puncture and ventriculogram. Ventriculo-peritoneal (V-P) shunt...

...Byron Young An infant with a large arteriovenous malformation and communicating hydrocephalus is described. The author suggests that the hydrocephalus is caused by impaired absorption of cerebrospinal fluid due to increased intracranial venous pressure. 4 3 2008 © 1979 S. Karger AG...

...Massimo A. Gerosa; Alessandro Carteri Cerebrospinal fluid levels of cyclic nucleotides in children with hypertensive communicating hydrocephalus secondary to leptomeningitis were investigated. 3’:5’-cAMP and 3’:5’-cGMP values were uniformly increased in pre-operative findings, suggesting a ‘passive...

... surgery. In our 5th case a benign teratoma of 150 g was removed from the third ventricle. He was discharged and enjoyed rather good health for 2 years and 1 month before dying of recurrence of tumor. Internal hydrocephalus associated with the huge tumor was responsible for the sudden deterioration...

...James Gardner Bony anomalies encountered in the ‘no neck’ form of Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) are a wide, short, fused, bifid, retroflexed spinal canal; craniolacunia, cranium bifidum, and acrania. The only symptom may be mirror movement (MM). The CNS anomalies are hindbrain hernia, hydrocephalus...

...Sherman C. Stein; Luis Schut 156 children born with myelomeningocele were studied over a 3- to 10-year follow-up period. The appearance, type and rate of development of hydrocephalus were noted and correlated with the findings on neonatal and follow-up physical examination. 80% of the children...

...Clark Watts; Dean Keith Unwanted results of shunting for hydrocephalus include slit and asymmetrical ventricles and the conversion of communicating hydrocephalus to noncommunicating hydrocephalus. Evidence suggests this may be due to a mismatch between the pressure/flow performance characteristics...
