No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Acute hydrocephalus is a common complication following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Early and emergency insertion of external ventricular drain (EVD) is standard treatment of acute post-SAH hydrocephalus. According to the high risk of infection associated with EVD, the study evaluates the outcome of early EVD conversion to ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) in poor-grade SAH patients.

Conditions

  • Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
  • Ventriculo-Peritoneal Shunt Infection
  • Hydrocephalus

Interventions

PROCEDURE

External ventricular drainage (EVD) conversion into ventriculo-peritoneal shunt (VPS)

EVD in high grade SAH patients were converted into VPS with 7-10 days of EVD insertion
