Abstract
Posttraumatic hydrocephalus presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. In the setting of a recent head injury with progressive ventricular dilatation on serial computed tomograms and typical clinical findings, placement of a shunt is the treatment of choice. Ancillary confirmatory tests may be used when the patient is a high-risk surgical candidate, has a more remote injury or superimposed atrophy, or is unable to demonstrate classic physical signs.
