Abstract:Purpose
Post infective hydrocephalus (PIH) is a type of hydrocephalus which occurs after an infection of the brain or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Treatment of PIH requires temporary measures such as external ventricular drain (EVD) and ventriculosubgaleal shunt (VSGS) until CSF becomes clear and ready to implement VP shunt.
Limited research has been done to explore the tradeoff between these approaches particularly in pediatric PIH patients.
Our study compares the compl… Show more
