Abstract:
Thirty-two patients with traumatic hydrocephalus were treated by ventriculo-peritoneal shunts. Twenty-two patients were improved (70%). Among them, seventeen patients showed satisfactory results (53%): ventriculo-peritoneal shunts have good effects and few complications; this method is easy to manipulate for traumatic hydrocephalus. We discussed the important points in operations.
