TREATMENT OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN WITH HYDROCEPHALUS AND CAUSES OF POOR OUTCOMES
Hydrocephalus is an urgent medical and social problem. When examining patients with congenital hydrocephalus in the early stages of the development of the disease, a comprehensive diagnostic study is shown to timely develop adequate approaches to treatment tactics. When diagnosing hydrocephalus, it is necessary to clearly verify its form, since this determines the tactics of observation and treatment. The course of this disease has its own characteristics and is associated with a high risk of postoperative complications, caused primarily by dysfunction of the shunt system (35.4%), purulent-inflammatory processes in the brain and soft tissues of the head.
