Abstract
Objective: To analyze the effect of ventriculoperitoneal shunt on the recovery of brain function in children with hydrocephalus. Methods: The clinical data of 40 children with hydrocephalus were retrospectively analyzed. Ventriculoperitoneal shunt was performed with 9003 shunt tube and P.S. Shunt tube, B.C.E. shunt tube. Electroencephalogram (EEG), and brain CT/MRI were performed before and after surgery, and postoperative follow-up was carried out to observe the therapeutic effect. Results: In this study, there were seven cases of intracranial injury, seven cases of congenital hydrocephalus, 11 cases of ventricular end obstruction, three cases of abdominal end obstruction, nine cases complicated with bacterial infection, and 3 cases of shunt entering the scrotum. The prognosis of all the children was good, and there were no significant changes in eight cases. Conclusion: Ventriculoperitoneal shunt is effective in the treatment of children with hydrocephalus.
