There had been a lot of changes and advances in treatment of hydrocephalus. Many efforts also had been made to prevent complication of shunting, but there are a lot of inevitable problems in shunting operation. This paper attemps to review and summarize these shunt complications.

Zuammenfassung: Neu konnte in einem Fall eine spontane Aderhautabhebung im Gefolge einer toxoplasmotischen Allgemeininfektion bei einem Saugling mit Hydrocephalus internus beobachtet werden. Verschiedenartige pathogenetische Faktoren Kennen bei der Entwickelung der spontanen serysen vorderen Aderhautabhebung wirksam werden. Hierzu zahlen neur gatative GefaBstorungen, eine sklerotisch-hypertonische Angiopathie, insbesondere aber entzundliche GefaBreaktionen im Sinne fokaltoxischer bzw. allergisch-hyperergischer Erscheinungen. Es ist angebracht, die bei einem entzundlichen GefaBhautprozeB auftretende spontane Aderhautabhebung als Cyclitis anularis exsudativa pseudotumorosa bezeichnet wird.

A retrospective study on a case of pediatric patients with hydrocephalus due to meningitis was treated at Tay Duc Paediatric Hospital – Haiphong City. Results shows that: hydrocephalus is non-malignant except brain tumour. Symptoms in children under one year of age: head circumference is enlarged rapidly, fontanel’s and skull bones bulging, thin-haired, venae under head skin emerged clearly, eyes are turned downwards. Symptoms in older children and adults including headache, quick reduction of vision. To have better treatment results, it should be detected and operated early. For hydrocephalus caused by brain tumour, placement surgery of a abdominal-ventricular catheter should be done before operation to help reducing pressure for laparoscopic surgery, minimizing mortality rate and having recupation for better surgical condition later. If the tumour had bad prognosis not be operated, placement of a abdominal-ventricular.

Hydrocephalus with ventriculitis, meningitis is a difficult problem to manage due to the impossibility of applying the ventrioculo-peritoneal shunt to reduce the intracranial pressure. The cerebro-spinal fluid can not also be drained outside for longterm by a tube. To solve this problem, the authors have used the hand-made reservoir which bases on the Salmon Rickham Reservoir to withdraw the cerebro-spinal fluid and to inject drugs into ventricles. This procedure is also applied to the brain abscess and cerebral cystic tumor.

To evaluate the cerebral blood flow in feline hydrocephalic brain, this study was designed to measure the regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF;frontal and periventricular area) by the hydrogen clearance method in different stages of the kaolin-induced hydrocephalus and the postshunt status. The results were as follows: 1) A reduction of rCBF was detected in the left periventricular area at two weeks after kaolin injection. A significant reduction of rCBF was revealed in the left periventricular area at two and four weeks after kaolin injection. However, the rCBF of the left frontal cortex was significantly decreased at four weks after kaolin injection. 2) At one week after shunt operation, the significant restroration of rCBF was found in the left frontal cortex and the left periventricular area.

A 27-year-old woman with a clavicular fracture and post-traumatic hydrocephalus developed a subclavicular pseudomeningocele which was successfully treated by lumboperitoneal shunt. A brief review of the neurosurgical literature on the management of pseudomeningocele is presented.
