Shunt Outcomes of Post-Hemorrhagic Hydrocephalus

Completed

Conditions studied: Post-Hemorrhagic Hydrocephalus

In brief

This multicenter, prospective pilot study will compare the effectiveness of two established procedures used in the treatment of post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus in very low birth weight infants, specifically ventricular reservoirs and subgaleal shunts. The study is being conducted by the Hydrocephalus Clinical Research Network (HCRN), a network established to conduct multi-institutional clinical trials on pediatric hydrocephalus.
