Prevalence and treatment outcomes of hydrocephalus among children with craniofacial syndromes
Hydrocephalus requiring treatment is common in Pfeiffer and Crouzon patients but rare in Apert, Muenke, or Saethre-Chotzen syndrome. Shunt treatment is often associated with complications that require revisions, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing non-progressive ventriculomegaly from hydrocephalus requiring treatment.
