Predictors of Shunt-Dependent Chronic Hydrocephalus after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage

Abstract

Chronic hydrocephalus after aneurysmal SAH has a multifactorial aetiology. Understanding the risk factors that predict the occurrence of chronic hydrocephalus may help neurosurgeons to expedite permanent cerebrospinal fluid diversion, which could decrease both the cost and length of hospital stay and prevent further complications.
