In Sweden, the annual incidence of surgery for hydrocephalus was 3.4 per 100,000 adults between the years 1996 and 1998. The most common indication for surgery was normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH; 47%), followed by high-pressure hydrocephalus (27%). Seventy-three percent of the patients had communicating hydrocephalus, of which 63% had NPH. Twenty percent of the patients had non-communicating hydrocephalus, of which half resulted from aqueduct stenosis. The annual incidence of operations varied between regional clinics from 2.3 to 6.3 per 100,000 inhabitants.
