Pediatric Obstructive Hydrocephalus Ventriculoscopic Treatment

Patient's question:

On May 17, 2010, an intracranial infection occurred after trauma. On June 5, obstructive hydrocephalus developed, leading to a coma. A drainage surgery was performed. The patient has now woken up, but remains unclear about their mental state.

Doctor's answer:

Because of intracranial infection causing hydrocephalus, the fistula surgery may not be effective, but it can be tried. Because the patient is a child, if the shunt surgery is performed, it will be necessary to adjust the tube regularly.
