Book Description
This book deals with intracranial dynamic issues, which is an emerging sub-specialty of pediatric neurointensive care. It concentrates on encephalopathies and hydrocephalus from the newborn through childhood, and covers basic clinical and pathophysiological aspects of raised intracranial pressure and the methodologies for measurement of cerebral blood flow and intracranial pressure. Further chapters deal with encephalopathies and infectious and parainfectious and nontraumatic coma. There follow chapters on hydrocephalus (treatment, techniques, reservoirs, and shunt infections stressing the Edinburgh strategy), and the last two chapters deal with benign intracranial hypertension and biochemical parameters of brain damage.

Pediatric Hydrocephalus
Author: G. Cinalli
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 8847021219
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 455
Book Description
In the last ten years the pediatric neurosurgeon has witnessed a real revolution in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric hydrocephalus, the most frequently encountered condition in everyday clinical practice. The evolution of MRI and the advent of neuroendoscopic surgery have resuscitated the interest in the classification, etiology and pathophysiology of hydrocephalus. The book offers an updated overview on the recent progress in this field, and a new approach to hydrocephalus: the reader will find in it a modern and new presentation of an old disease, where genetics, endoscopy, cost-effectiveness analyses and many other aspects of the various therapies are extensively discussed. The volume will be useful not only for neurosurgeons, but for all specialists interested in the various aspects of hydrocephalus: pediatricians, radiologists, endocrinologists, pathologists and geneticists.
