Presentation
We presented a 'Risk of bias' summary figure to illustrate these findings. [cochranelibrary.com]
Cardiovascular
- Hypertension
Symptoms in patients with acquired hydrocephalus (obstructive, post‐infectious, or post‐haemorrhagic) constitute the intracranial hypertension syndrome which includes headache, vomiting and drowsiness (Petre 2010). [cochranelibrary.com]
Treatment
Treatment failure Drake 1998 reported this outcome in 229 participants. The incidence of treatment failure may be similar in those with the standard valve and the constant flow valve. [cochranelibrary.com]
Prognosis
Patients with comorbidities, such as myelomeningocele or Chiari malformation, had the worst prognosis (Laurence 1962). [cochranelibrary.com]
Etiology
Nowadays, it has become a viable option when valves are not available or when the etiology of hydrocephalus is associated with higher success with this procedure. [cochranelibrary.com]
Pathophysiology
Hydrocephalus can be classified into communicating and non‐communicating types on the basis of its pathophysiology. [cochranelibrary.com]
Prevention
Its aim is to prevent both postural and vasogenic (mediated by blood vessels) over‐drainage occurring during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, physical exertion, coughing, and other physiological conditions (Hanlo 2003). [cochranelibrary.com]
