Independent Predictors of Late Hydrocephalus in Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage – Analysis by Multivariate Logistic Regression Model

Abstract

As in previous reports, intraoperative clot removal and duration of external CSF drainage were found to be closely related to the incidence of hydrocephalus. Brain damage due to intraoperative manipulation and cerebral vasospasm is seemed to be involved in the occurrence of late hydrocephalus in this study.
