The significance of morphological details for developmental outcome in infantile hydrocephalus

R W Oberbauer. Childs Nerv Syst. 1985.

Abstract

Sixty-four infants were selected for evaluation of hydrocephalus and associated cerebral anomalies on CT scan; initial findings are compared with follow-up results after shunt therapy and correlated with psychomotor development. Analysis indicates that initial high-grade cortical thinning, the capability of the brain to recover after CSF diversion, and size and number of associated cerebral anomalies can all be considered decisive factors in estimating prognosis in infantile hydrocephalus.
