Anup Kage Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 What is your practice in the management of post hemorrhagic hydrocephalus ? When do you intervene, once VIs ( ventricular indices) are above 97th + 4mm centile or only above 97th centile? Do you measure anterior horn width along with VI? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Johansson Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Based on the ELVIS findings, I would argue for a less conservative approach. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29440132/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30878207/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32800815/ We follows VI in those cases. In our limited experience, the "tube of choice" by our ped neurosurgeons in Stockholm is a reservoir (that we empty on a regular basis) rather than a real shunt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anup Kage Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 Thanks Stefan. Yes, I wanted to know how many units across the have globe have made changes to their practice based on the ELVIS trial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
