Pregnancy complicated by maternal hydrocephalus. A report of 3 cases
Abstract:
The obstetric management of 3 women with stable hydrocephalus is presented. The few obstetric complications were unrelated to the maternal hydrocephalus, and specific management of the maternal condition was not necessary. Better management of hydrocephalus in infancy, as well as of the other forms of non-tumoral hydrocephalus, has led to more adults in a stable state with the condition and pregnancy will occur in some of these. A plea is made for all female patients with hydrocephalus to have a ventriculoperitoneal shunt rather than a ventriculoatrial one, with a view to reduction of complications in later pregnancies.
