What Are the Causes and Surgical Methods for Pediatric Hydrocephalus Due to Cerebral Fossa Pressure?
An examination may reveal that cerebral fossa pressure could lead to pediatric hydrocephalus. The main surgical method is CSF diversion surgery, including ventriculoatrial shunting, ventriculoseptal sinus shunting, and ventriculoperitoneal shunting, among others. The latter method is highly safe and has fewer complications. The shunt includes a reservoir and pressure valve device, which can be checked under fluoroscopy without X-ray, and postoperative care should include prevention of complications such as thrombosis blocking the catheter, cardiac thrombosis, endocarditis, and sepsis.
