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.
Hydrocephalus

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.

We report a case of suprasellar arachnoid cyst with hydrocephalus which was diagnosed incidentally. This 41-year-old housewife had sympoms of hydrocephalus and hypophyseal dysfunction. Despite of well-functioning ventriculoperitioneal shunt and communication of the cyst with the ventricular system, the size of the ventricular system was never been normalized. She deteriorated progressively and eventually died shortly after the seventh operation. Unusual hospital couse is presented with brief review of the related literatures.
