Managing hydrocephalus in 54 infants under 3 months of age: A single center cohort study

Managing hydrocephalus in very young infants remains challenging regarding surgical strategy, reducing shunt dependency and decreasing current complication rates. In addition to a VPS, an ETV has shown to be a successful treatment option for hydrocephalus in well-selected very young infants. The opportunity to decrease ventricular volume with a VAD could have contributed to the success of an ETV in this young patient group.
