To investigate the effects of ventricular shunt placement in children with post-infective hydrocephalus.
Methods:
A total of 24 cases of post-infectious hydrocephalus, who received ventricular shunt, were enrolled. Age, gender, disease progression, clinical manifestation, laboratory data, treatment, prognosis, complication, and sequela for each patient were retrospectively reviewed.Results:
Of the 24 cases, 8 had a full recovery, 11 had slight sequela, 2 had severe sequela, 1 was in vegetative state, and 2 died because of bacterial meningitis and tubercular meningitis. Epilepsy, mental impairment, visual and hearing damage were the main sequelae.Conclusion:
Ventricular shunt is the preferred treatment in children with post-infective hydrocephalus, which shows positive clinical efficacy and can improve the long-term prognosis of such patients.
