...Bo Yu; Shasha Li; Zhenlang Lin; Nu Zhang Aims: To investigate the effectiveness of subcutaneous reservoir drainage as a treatment for the different types of posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus in premature infants. Methods: 11 premature infants with posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus underwent subcutaneous...

... newborns (gestational age 33.0 ± 2.50 weeks, birth weight 2,124.81 ± 282.54 g; mean ± SD) were examined for the development of perinatal hypoxic-ischemia injury and asphyxia condition. This research focuses on various types of massive intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH...

... hydrocephalus and mitigate the need for shunt placement. We have treated 4 premature infants with posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus with urokinase, a thrombolytic agent, instilled into the ventricles via a surgically paced ventricular access device. The infants were treated with 10,000 IU of urokinase twice a day...

...Matthieu Vinchon; Fabrice Lapeyre; Chantal Duquennoy; Patrick Dhellemmes The surgical treatment of posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) in low-birth-weight infants (LBWI) is debated. In a few cases, hydrocephalus progresses rapidly and requires early drainage, but valves and ventriculostomy have...

...Roger J. Hudgins; William R. Boydston; Carita L. Gilreath Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and subsequent posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) commonly complicate the course of extremely preterm infants. Many methods for treating the hydrocephalus have been used, none of which are ideal. We present...
